I improve public-sector systems through requirements analysis, legacy migrations, process redesign, testing, and stakeholder alignment.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I've supported public-sector agencies including San Joaquin County ARCC, Los Angeles Unified School District Transportation Services, and San Joaquin County Public Defender CMS. My work spans requirements gathering, legacy mainframe-to-.NET migrations, workflow mapping, gap analysis, and system testing.
At ARCC, I mapped workflows across assessment, recording, vital records, and customer service, identified bottlenecks, documented updated procedures, and trained end users. I bridge business users, SMEs, IT teams, and developers with clear BRDs, process models, test scripts, manuals, and stakeholder communication.
