David Grimes’s Expertise Like an itch you can never fully scratch, I am driven by an unwavering commitment to see a better future become reality. Whether it’s mentoring a struggling employee, capturing the true "why" behind user needs, or devising game-changing strategies to transform experiences or reduce cost, I find energy and purpose in making technology, software, and life smoother for everyone involved. With over a decade of experience managing technology and engineering teams, I have successfully led more than 110 projects from conception to completion. My expertise spans on-premise to Cloud migrations, building renovations, ERP upgrades, and even the creation of a DEI office. As a bridge between people and solutions, I leverage hardware, software, and certifications (PMP, CSPO, ITIL) to lead with an MBA-informed, strengths-based approach, focusing on human-centric impact. A few highlights: 1. Reduced program costs by 77% through strategic digital transformations. 2. Optimized FTE by 41%, enhancing team productivity and performance. 3. Increased team performance by 25% of overall org backlog, reducing support demand by 88% toward increased capacity for ongoing cross-functional work. When I'm off the clock, you'll find me making noise with my boys- wrestling in the backyard, playing drums, or in the wood shop making a custom table (and not the DB kind!). Whether you're in technology, projects, or creating something totally unrelated, I love connecting with others whose passions drive them to make something new. Certifications: PMP, CSPO, ITIL, AWS Cloud Practitioner Tools: Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS, JAMF, Confluence, Jira, SQL, Argos, AD, SSO, various Cloud SaaS products, Oracle, VSCode, ManageEngine, PostGres, JavaScript, VMWare, MS Project, Teamwork.com, PowerBI, MDM, VSCode, Powershell, SQL, Teamwork.com, and anything new my teams get our hands on.
