As a Management Consultant, I work with clients to document the architecture and strategy involved with deploying information systems in their laboratories. I work across different kinds of businesses and industries and support client efforts to collect and manage scientific data. I love the feeling that I am helping discover new scientific insights.

DuPont recently became an independent entity from global chemical giant DowDuPont, and we helped them migrate to the Microsoft Azure Cloud. My role focused on strategy and documentation, including the data itself and the system that stores and processes the data. I also visited client sites that had complex systems and helped them install and support new software.

This project was very technical and involved a lot of understanding firewall rules, client/server architecture and network routing. Working on this successful venture increased my technical knowledge tenfold and taught me that I can excel at anything if I humble myself and admit when there’s something I don’t understand.

My team included Managing Director Adam Cooper, who enabled our team to bring their technical expertise and creativity to the tasks at hand; Software Developer Manager Robert Jones, who helped manage laboratory data; Managing Director Derek Ong, who led a team responsible for migrating 500 applications from Dow to DuPont; and Senior Manager Dixit Patel, who led the migration of manufacturing quality systems.
