Experience
Infectious Disease Data Exchange
A public health informatics team within a state agency streams their Infectious Disease Data Integration platform (IDDI), which interacts with many local testing agencies across the state and reports to the governor’s office, the federal CDC for reporting. As part of this program, I provided suggestions re. data collections for the results from various test centers for COVID-19 used to report to the governor and the CDC are also used for contact tracing.
Enterprise Information Management for A Community College

I oversaw the existing financial systems, including the new fare collection system. I modernized the revenue of the fare systems and financial applications as the business owner, the department led, and the subject matter expert. I analyzed business requirements for inclusion in system design; maximized efficiencies and effectiveness through a detailed understanding of system functionality; identifying the right resources and tasks needed to design, implement, test, go-live, and maintain the system.
