By Ramon Padilla Jr.

I have been part of the IT world as a professional since 1987. First as a programmer with an Air Carrier, then as an IT Manager, IT Coordinator, and eventually Director/CIO through 16 years of County Government experience. Since then I have been consulting with State Governments in the areas of Application Development and Data Warehousing and Business Process Re-engineering. I recently accepted a Director's/CIO position in the government arena and am looking forward to the challenges of senior IT management again. While I cannot state where I am working or who I am working for, should it become known, I must make it clear that all thoughts and opinions expressed by me in this blog are my own and do not reflect those of TechRepublic, C/NET nor my current employer.
