About Jay Parker
I am an information technology professional with 30 years of experience including 20 years in leadership roles and a broad skill set spanning networking, systems, databases, applications, development, client support, and service and project management.My low-level training and experience in computer engineering and software development support my deep expertise in enterprise systems, datacenter management, Internet communications, and Unix/Linux operating systems.I have spent the vast majority of my career in higher education environments and have extensive experience as a technician, manager, and director supporting educational ERP systems, learning management systems, and communication and collaboration tools.I pride myself on using a methodical, structured, and objective approach to tactical and strategic decision-making that is focused on understanding goals and requirements in order to develop the right solutions.I love the opportunity to use empathetic communication to clear confusion, resolve conflicts, and explain technology to non-technical audiences.I am excited by opportunities to use my unique blend of skills and experience to help people untangle and understand their business needs and discover how the right technology solutions can make their lives better and enable their success.
