SOFTWARE

• As a former software engineer, I worked for about 30 years in several software environments, including Motorola, Allstate, Discover Card, and United Airlines.
• I worked in all areas of software engineering: software development, support, programming, project management, training, business analysis, website and database administration, technical writing, and Motorola Mobility six-sigma black belt).

MARKETING

• I was an independent contractor and owned my corporation for fourteen years, which gave me a solid foundation for B2B marketing in IT consulting.
• I’m an AWAI-trained (i.e., direct response and B2B) copywriter and a HubSpot-certified Inbound marketer.

B2B

The complex sales buying process involves many decision-makers. You need to find the different decision-maker categories, profiles, and demographics. They could vary depending on the target industry or product being sold. It involves buying processes, marketing strategies, channels, and such. Being a former corporate owner and independent contractor helps.

WRITING

• I took many creative writing and literature courses at Aurora University and the College of DuPage.
• I’ve written technical manuals, training manuals, technology marketing and direct response pieces, creative pieces, and graduate papers.
• I have attended writer’s conferences and local writers' groups.

AI

I use AI as a professor, copilot, and consultant via multiple AI engines.

• I've completed the IBM online AI fundamentals series of courses and Generative AI courses from Microsoft and DataBricks.
• My background in software engineering with Oracle and MySQL databases, math B, A, and a Motorola Six-Sigma probability and statistics background.
• My experience with languages like Java, C++, and Python helps me understand AI's inner workings.

Spirituality

I'm a conservative Eastern Catholic, non-partisan, embracing contemplation, Mindfulness, and Theosis, a hopeful universalist, and an AI nerd. I like silent contemplation methods from Heartfulness, Fox Golden Key, Bruno Groening Circle of Friends, and mindfulness. I like the Byzantine. Eastern and Western Syriac rite EC churches, and virtual and in-person programs at the Theosophical Society in America.
