But, but, his credentials on LinkedIn for running a huge IT project are impeccable! He once was a program manager of satellite stuff in the 1980s!! He even got a degree in Business and Finance from Loyola. Clearly the man could have started Google.
1984 to 1988:
"Held several increasingly responsible project/program management positions for implementing large satellite telecommunications projects for Fortune 500 companies. Responsibilities included program and project administration,logistics management, financial management, and quality assurance for GTE Spacenet projects."
1988-1999:
"Held a variety of increasing responsible IT policy positions. Established the Office of Electronic Commerce which had governmentwide responsibilities for developing policies, coordinating initiatives, and monitoring Federal electronic commerce. Also co-chaired with DoD the Federal Electronic Commerce Program Office. "
1999-2005:
"As the Deputy AC, oversaw the development and implementation of all public (beneficiary) Internet applications (from a business and operations perspective) including the website business planning and development, identity management solutions, and analysis of website and on-line application use trends"
Wow. A real Nikola fucking Tesla this guy is. This is the kind of shit that turns people into Republicans. There is literally nothing in this guy's resume that would suggest he should be a CIO handling a $2 billion budget.
- x0054 13y agoThis reminds me. I once did work for this guy in Chicago. This guy was responsible for leading a team that converted all government computers in the city from Windows NT to 2000. The man does not know how to program, create websites, remove viruses, configure routers, build computers, or configure networks. I would not trust him with Ikea furniture! He was also a terrible manager, never knew what he wanted to see, mainly because he simply did not know what was possible. And yet, the city paid him a ton of money to do IT. In case you are wondering, the transition project took 5 times longer then budgeted for, surprise, surprise...
- ssafejava 13y agoIt gets worse - the UI team lead had an associate's degree in Art & Web Design from a community college, and a bachelor's in Zoology. [1] Normally, I would say credentials generally don't matter - but combined with the code quality, the argument writes itself. I started looking him up after seeing this mention (and the awful code below).

- danielna 13y agoPlease delete this. This is in poor taste.
- lymie 13y ago//NOTE: Danielna indicates that OP may not actually give that much of a fuck
- pessimizer 13y ago[2] is terrifying.
- matthudson 13y agoWhat do you hope to achieve with this comment? What good could possibly come from it? Instead of attempting to shame while pointing fingers, say something constructive or leave the issue alone. I agree with 'danielna, your comment is in really poor taste.
- keeganpoppen 13y agoOh god. Not only does [2] feature extremely creative uses of eval() (always a good sign), but also features the comment gem "create a new java date" in reference to a call to "new Date( ... )". Always nice to see nothing short of profound gulfs in understanding when it comes to our $9-digit technology initiatives...
- VladRussian2 13y agoman!!!!!!! Healthcare reform, now i see. Shhh... It will be our little secret. Jon Stewart will have a heart attack if he learns about it. //determine if due date is valid //based on 10-month pregnancy (sprint 9 requirements)
