@jackgebhart
Beyond anything else, I am a curious person and I enjoy solving problems. I am also big on collaboration over competition. I enjoy reading.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Technical Program Manager with over a decade of experience across multiple industries. I have a background in data engineering and network engineering. I am a US Marine Corps Veteran.
At Mastercard, I drove modernization and scalability efforts. I improved Processes by identifying bottlenecks and either implementing replacements or ID’d sufficient lead times in planning that they did not hinder product development or product launch timelines.
At General Motors I organized the execution of the engineering work to build and launch www.chevy.electirc and www.cadillac.ch (now https://www.cadillaceurope.com/). I lead the effort to adopt a Product-centric process within Onstar and Mobile development organizations. And I lead as well as work on the engineering teams for several internal analytic tools for Cadillac, Finance, and Sales business units.
In the Marine Corps I was a network engineer who supported company level operations. I was also a Primary Marksmanship Instructor, training Marines in use of M16A4 rifles and M9 Pistols.
