Employment Chronology

DXC Technology (2017 - Current)
My role currently is Global Modern Workplace Delivery Master Technology Consultant, with my EDS honorific of Distinguished SE. I support our most important clients while playing a key role in the Modern Workplace offering development and global sales organizations. With the DXC decision that Workplace was indeed a good idea (duh...) I am increasingly contributing to the very bleeding edge of what DXC and Strategic Partners want to bring to market. I bring the end-to-end Enterprise layer of Delivery Architecture and Systems Engineering expertise to the table, with facilitation skills honed by about 40 years in the game. 

If you understand this one then you're aware of the height of this mountain in this industry during COVID. One of my accounts has COMPLETED the (Microsoft philosophy called) Modern Management around the end of 2020 and can now, with their pivot to 20H2, be declared WaaS aligned. They're a global Pharma where all of the chemistries clicked. The barstool story includes a COVID story that everyone's proud of making happen. If you're part of that team reading this, then know that I'm talking about you. We learned that if we keep doing the right thing right in every direction then amazing things will assuredly happen.
