What I'm looking for
I am a strategic professional with extensive experience leading large-scale technical projects across utilities, energy, IT, and federal agencies. My career has been defined by my ability to translate complex client requirements into precise project plans, developing tailored technology solutions that improve project delivery and reduce operational costs. I have a proven track record of managing budgets, mitigating risks, and deriving actionable insights through detailed analysis and quality assurance.
In my recent role as a Solutions Architect at Locusview, I led the implementation of SaaS utility projects, guiding teams through discovery, requirements gathering, design, configuration, and execution. I played a pivotal role in developing a top-tier Digital Construction Management platform, which has significantly enhanced the way energy utilities and telecom companies manage complex construction projects. My technical expertise and strategic vision have consistently driven exceptional project outcomes and organizational growth.
