As a seasoned IT professional with over two decades of expertise, I am dedicated to enhancing the ProjectWise experience for both administrators and users. My journey with ProjectWise spans 20+ years, during which I have excelled as a user, administrator, systems architect, developer, trainer, and subject matter expert. I specialize in developing stand-alone and plugin ProjectWise solutions using the ProjectWise SDK. I am also a strong advocate for PowerShell, passionately creating solutions that streamline daily tasks for administrators and users alike. Outside of my professional life, I enjoy immersing myself in a good book, strumming my guitar, and unwinding by the beach.
