Schneider, Mike's photostream

As a strategic technology consultant, my curiosity about technology, ability to embrace and harness change and burning desire to deliver practical, bulletproof solutions on time have been the drivers for my career.

I have been a technology guy since my father gave me my first Atari 2600 at age 5 and my Apple 2+ at age 7. Since then I have made it my personal mission to keep abreast of new developments. I am considerate of all technologies and have deep experience in Windows and LAMP (sounds like we’re talking Feng Shui now) strategy and delivery from both business and technology angles.

I believe that process should:

* Create a structure for the exchange of ideas, reuse of code and creative assets.
* Provide assurance of high quality products.
* Allow for flexibility in deliverables and easy deployment of changes.
* NOT stifle the creative process.

In other words, agile/iterative methodologies can be an impetus for creativity. I prefer to bring creatives, strategists and delivery team players to the table early in order to build on-brand, cohesive and “tasty” solutions. Ultimately these drive improved brand awareness and purchase consideration while growing the business.

Currently I am focused on web content management, social media measurement and dual shore delivery models.

My client roster includes: Dunkin Donuts, Cognos, Pfizer, Harvard Pilgrim Healthcare, Gillette, Liberty Mutual and Georgia Pacific.
