About Michael McCarthy

As an IT executive with more than 20 years of experience, I have enlisted creativity and flexibility to deliver digital solutions for businesses large and small. That includes everything from broad strategy and operations to end-to-end software development, delivering success for clients such as Memo, Breas, Platter\'s Chocolates, VotaMea, Senior Home Exchange, and Wurlitzer Events.In March 2022, Reading Research Associates Inc.(KeyPhonics) has been acquired by Renaissance Learning Company. As a member of the KeyPhonics technical and leadership team, I gained key skills and insights to take on similar roles with companies building educational tools. I managed the KeyPhonics platform for over 4 years before being acquired. The software platform was built and in beta in less than 1 year.Currently, I focus on helping startups and larger enterprises create and deploy their Digital Business initiatives (IoT, Big Data, Cloud, and mobile). For instance, I have been working with a client on a Home Try-On concept that links directly to partner eCommerce sites. I have recently integrated 10 Shopify Luxury stores. My key business drivers are execution, collaboration, innovation, and integration. Other key projects I am especially proud of include working with the Buffalo Sabres on a CRM project that integrated directly with tickets.com. Building solutions for Delaware North to manage their properties through a hosted platform. I developed 6 mobile apps that manage video content for school districts so the client Showcase Media can easily upload the videos to YouTube via API integration. This saved the client nearly 50% of their time managing the videos.Skills: Product Management, Cross-functional Team, Leadership, Agile Methodologies, Jira, Miro, Custom Web App Development, Cloud Architecture, eCommerce, Mobile Applications, Video Hosting Services, Amazon Web Services (Cloud Services), Google Cloud, Project Management, Software Development, and Software Architecture.I enjoy learning new things and connecting with people across a range of industries, so don\'t hesitate to reach out if you\'d like to get in touch:Email: h••••@dcwebtech.com.
