Objective:

My interest is in offering my significant experience to an organization that requires project support. There are several roles I can play, for example, I can lead a project, backup several projects, offer mentoring and training, and perform evaluations to improve overall project performance.

I am well versed in CMMI and can develop a roadmap to achieve level 5 certification or to make the project process more efficient.

Many companies do not achieve the benefits of an efficient project management process. There are several reasons for this, including assigning SME's to manage projects without the proper introduction into the project management processes.

We are in the era of project focus. Without the proper structure, projects will not achieve the desired results.

In today’s AI world, and the need to access large amounts of data, which AI pathway best suits your organizational needs? There is no one response that suits all organizations, and with the increased knowledge base growing rapidly, are you behind the capabilities curve, just barely keeping up, or imagining the future state? You would think the latter statement to be optimal, but caution is necessary since development of new data states is progressing rapidly. Expending large sums of capital on something that may vanish tomorrow may be a fool’s errand.
