About Gaelen Faulkner

HARNESSING THE POWER OF DATA TO MEET USER REQUIREMENTS AND ADVANCE BUSINESS OBJECTIVES While earning my degree in computer information systems (CIS), I quickly discovered NEEDS ASSESSMENT and STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT skills I learned while coaching swimmers provided a solid foundation for defining technology project goals and objectives. Navigating complex and sometimes difficult conversations with teammates, students, competitors, and family members, from widely divergent backgrounds, developed communication and collaboration skills, early.~ Water meeting technology usually ends badly, but not in my case.~While GATHERING, REVIEWING, ANALYZING, and ORGANIZING INFORMATION for summer roles, and academic projects, I validated and ensured DATA QUALITY. Advancing an autonomous or group project from brainstorming to testing and troubleshooting to final presentation, and potential implementation, takes vision and a detailed plan. Building on the diligence and tenacity established through early training and competition, I am meticulous in mapping the incremental steps needed to TAKE STAKEHOLDER VISION TO REALITY.~ I embrace challenges and absorb new information and concepts with sponge-like voracity.~Whether tactical with coding and technical support or strategic in assessing operations and data management, I support CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT initiatives in mock and business situations. ACCURATE in assessing projects, planning strategy, and documenting actions. LEVELHEADED in achieving consensus and resolving issues in fast-paced, rapidly changing environments. COLLABORATIVE in defining needs and aligning teams toward positive outcomes. Confident in conversations and presentations to diverse audiences.
