What Am I About?<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

My professional goal has been to help organizations connect with their communities through the <\/span>appropriate & effective<\/span><\/i> use of technology. <\/span><\/p>\n

  • critical assessment of trends, technologies, risks & opportunities for services deployment,<\/span><\/li>\n

        \n
      • UX and design research;<\/span><\/li>\n
      • commitment to open access to information and open software;<\/span><\/li>\n
      • social media \u00a0developments, standards & tools;<\/span><\/li>\n
      • interoperability & metadata standards (classification, thesauri, vocabulary);<\/span><\/li>\n
