Biography:
Application Development Manager | Technology Strategist | Data Governance Expert
With over 12 years of experience as an Application Development Manager, I have successfully led IT service teams in developing and implementing strategic technology solutions that drive operational efficiency and security. My expertise in managing software development and enterprise solutions allows me to align technology initiatives with business and educational objectives.
Under my leadership, my team has leveraged an API platform to configure and push data to multiple third-party vendors in real-time. Utilizing Gartner services, I spearheaded the creation of a data governance roadmap, leading to our first data maturity assessment. This assessment resulted in strategic recommendations, including the implementation of a data warehouse. My team?s execution of these recommendations has enabled the development of MS Office 365 PowerApps and Power BI dashboards using Snowflake data warehouse technology.
As more data transitions to the cloud, my team is building robust data pipelines using Snaplogic to collect and centralize information in Snowflake. Beyond my technical expertise, I excel in fostering cross-departmental collaboration to implement technology-driven solutions that enhance user experience and institutional effectiveness. As a co-leader of the Banner User Group (BUGs), I facilitate discussions by translating technical requirements and providing actionable project timelines for approval.
I am passionate about driving innovation, optimizing data strategies, and ensuring technology solutions support both business and educational goals.
