About Julian Runbeck

I dream up and implement amazing solutions. Every role I\'ve had I\'ve contributed to positive changes. When an Information Management Officer in the military I: developed a database-driven an inventory management system for our unit, contracted setting up a communications tower and chose the location, and was responsible for nine buildings and over 650 users. I took over the jobs of seven people. When I left that role they had to bring in four people for me to train to replace me. They probably needed more;) When at Starbucks I: took it upon myself to write scripts to make our team more efficient, wrote software to better communicate with the store machines, and updated more knowledge documentation than almost everyone else. When at Microsoft as an Analyst II I closed out more than 50% of all issues as part of a team of four. The other three team members that held the same role completed less than 50% of the work. That is just typical with my work ethic. When at Microsoft as a SharePoint admin I did my job so well I was promoted to Architect. I also developed a system that saved Microsoft over a year. As an Architect I continued on with that drive and helped move our platform from archaic systems to revolutionary new configurations. Seattle New Media is a company that I started. I still perform freelance work and hire developers as needed. We have developed digital solutions for diverse businesses around the globe, providing them solutions in technologies like: Webflow Airtable Shopify Hubspot Also, helping them with digital marketing solutions like: √SEO √SEM √PPC (Google Ads, Facebook ads, Linkedin ads, Bing ads) I am looking for a new opportunity to show off my diverse skill set, personal drive, and love for all things technology.
