About Me
I am a growth and transformation expert with strong focus on building communities, smart cities technology, and sustainability technology strategies across the public-sector space.

Some notable projects I sponsored and managed include a municipal water treatment plant, various public safety facilities, smart surveillance detection systems, digital apps and enterprise software solutions that support smart cities and digital transformation.

Industry Insights: Interview with Greg Chavarria
Innovation is my passion
Fostering teamwork and collaboration...
has allowed me to deliver some of the greatest projects ever. I have been able to develop solutions that have improved the performance, cost efficiency, reliability, and scale-ability of technology services.
The improvements have resulted in greater level of technology adoption and integration of business processes.
The infographic to the left denotes the enterprise level projects that I have successfully achieved through sponsorship, sound project management practices and teamwork contributions.
Developing teams is my passion
This is a picture of a team that worked together to make the impossible happen. Upon being assigned to lead the finance department, as interim CFO, the work loads were uneven, morale needed to be improved, and success was far from sight.
Investing time with each resource to understand concerns, prioritizing tasks for each role, the department was able to adjust and pulled through. They began to believe in themselves and we were able to achieve greatness. The team was so enthusiastic about their team work approach that they won most spirited Department at the Annual Employee banquet. I was honored to serve as their Director for 4 months and be called "Superman".
