My life has a lot more computers in it than I thought it would.
I mostly like working with them. Even when I’m completely frustrated, I know it’s nothing personal.
People are harder, but my values and common sense also tell me that people are more important. So I’ve become a student of people who work with computers, people who are doing meaningful things, the organizations they form, and how they communicate.
My current job title says “Senior Business Analyst.” Few people think they know what that means, and even fewer agree with each other. So when it seems prudent, I introduce myself as an “IT Social Worker.”
People brighten when they hear that!
All my careers, I’ve relied on learning and applying sound principles to complex problems, both technical problems and people problems.
I’ll write about these principles and experiences with their applications.
Welcome. I hope you learn a little, share a little, and have a little bit better life because of me.
