Background

About Patrick Rafferty

Over the past twenty-four years (or thereabouts), I have had the privilege to work for and with a broad range of organizations on an equally broad range of topics. I've learned to trust myself and others, and that my joy in solving problems is only outpaced by my joy in helping others to succeed. My objectives are simple, to live my principles, to be challenged to learn and innovate daily, and to leave this world better than I found it. Those simple principles have resulted in the successful delivery of over 250M in projects, where the technology implemented and the processes impacted complement each other. That complementary aspect is a key pillar of how I work across organizations, individuals and executives to build solutions and deliver complex programs and products. Common sense, collaboratively designed solutions, leveraging stable technology and with buy-in from end users and other stakeholders, become valuable quickly. When those solutions are paired with production support in mind, these solutions become valuable instantly. When an IT organization discovers that it can build great software that is valuable to end users, and those users discover that their IT guys are their friends not their enemies, amazing things happen. I sincerely hope the pejorative "you" reading this will reach out in the event you want my advice, mentorship, and certainly if you have a need within your organization that you believe I can assist you with.
