Chief Technology Officer
Pay Half ClubChief Technology Officer
Apr. 2019 - Oct. 2019The Republic of TexasThere are ZERO MBA programs that will teach "Founder's Syndrome" or how to overcome it without sewing derision. There exists NO Doctorates in "How to Make a Unicorn Fairy Fart into a Business" yet this is EXACTLY what CTOs and their C-suite compatriots are asked to do by founders and boards. For the Founder: I facilitated multiple roles most especially the functions of a CTO via Technical Program Management & Organizational Change & Service Architect. Despite the lack of capital managed to drive an offshore team to near completion of an MVP. For the Operations Leader: We attempted to help operationalize the concept via OCM & TPM to ensure organizational business needs and ops/change processes are built with scale and efficiency while facilitating technical project management of software development; however, this was rejected by the founder. For the Executive and Sales leaders: While the executives were there (for a couple months) I serviced them as a Business Analyst and Service Architect collaborating to see that the investor and client pitches are given everything they need to be a “slam dunk”, and that ongoing business technical operations are well planned and managed. Above & Beyond: I facilitated the function of start-up mentor: proactively and positively helping people understand their importance, and empathetically counsel them when things seem uncomfortable or get really hard.

IPsoftImplementations Consultant | RPA/BPA/Digital Employee Optimization
Dec. 2018 - Jan. 2019United States & CanadaThere is no "perfect" way to approach change in any market or line of business. If everything was optimal then there would be no need to consult in order to discover how to evolve. Enter the OCM Consultant function born from technical project and implementation consultant experience and focused through the lens of Organizational Change Management. I consult with select customers to facilities activities such as: • Building change management programs • Coaching, aligning, and supporting leaders • Engaging and communicating with stakeholders • Analyzing change impacts and building BI frameworks • Facilitating stakeholders’ transitions from the current state to the future state • Monitoring stakeholder change readiness • Training and performance support • Reinforcing and sustaining change With the ultimate goal of taking repetitive tasks and working solutions away from the busy minds of humans, and porting them to digital employees to scale their solutions to free them to solve problems. AI driven cognitive agents, workflows, and automata libraries all contribute different facets of digital transformation sweeping through all areas of our human lives, and it takes a human to teach humans how to convert their excellence into automatized gold.

Geeks Who DrinkQuiz Master MF (retired)
Apr. 2015 - Dec. 2018Austin, Texas AreaA Quiz Master is essentially a professional smart ass with hints of DJ and sprinkles of a stand up comic on top. It was a phenomenal ride as it is not often one gets paid to participate in their hobby. What do we do? We host the largest pub quiz in North America for the benefit of quizzers in thousands of locations continent wide. From negotiating sound, to preparing playlists, to expertly reading words as questions, and having the skill to capitalize on comedic timing to deliver an experience not matched by any other quiz experience for the most part... unless there are ones where the host or the winners gain magical/super powers.... because that would definitely beat our quiz.
