  Worked with students and alumni to create their ideal web portfolio. 95% of sites were done in flash. Created about 15 student portfolios before I graduated and turnover was 2-4 weeks per site. Assisted students in the private Interactive Arts and Media lab with learning new technology, expanding their interests, and understanding their assignments. Stacks focused on: adobe suite, flash and actionscript programming, php, web development, photoshop, high-end and large-format photo printing.

  I provided technical and managerial leadership for a team of developers on as many as ten projects at a time. My primary responsibility was to ensure the success of the development team and their projects. I managed talent and staffing, acted as gatekeeper, provided development support as needed, and ensured employee performance and satisfaction. I also supplemented the project and account management teams on a daily basis as technical expert, Scrum Master, assisting with scope and timeline planning, identifying business objectives and technical requirements, and helping lead client technical teams/stakeholders. I was directly involved with staff planning, hiring process, and implementing performance improvement plans. Show less

  Technology director, global staffing

  I joined CM tech leadership as Tech Director to lead the staffing efforts for their globally distributed team model across 5 offices. Project managers and group tech directors collaborate with me as their point-of-contact to find the best fit for their needs, and they leverage my technical background to vet staff plans and potential hires. While my main focus is on talent utilization throughout our network, I am also a huge advocate for career growth. I make every effort to build relationships with our people by supporting their professional goals, placing them on projects that suit their interests, and finding them educational opportunities. I also assist with high-level tech leadership (writing requirements and timelines, staff plans, etc) and technical recruiting. Show less
