As an Information Technology Consultant at Independent Consultant, I co-led the design and rollout of a 20-access-point wireless network supporting payment transactions at the Plano Balloon Festival. I also provided on-site support to keep payment processing running during peak traffic.

I’ve led managed IT provider sourcing that resulted in a 20% average cost reduction, administered IBM MaaS360, and led mobile device deployment. I also implemented a virtual machine server hosting a Managed Print Solutions security suite.

At Lombardo Management, Inc., I negotiated and implemented a telecommunications contract that reduced costs by 15%. Earlier, at Centex Homes, I managed technology budgets and assets to achieve a 30% decrease in technology spending in 2006.
