Background

About Steven Barnes

Software Asset Management Analyst with a strong track record of supporting enterprise IT governance, driving cost efficiencies, and ensuring software compliance at scale. I utilize data analytics methodologies to inform key business decisions, support audit readiness, and improve organizational visibility. A critical aspect of my role involves developing and delivering reports—such as end-of-life software analysis and key risk indicator (KRI) metrics—that are used by executive leadership and our board to guide strategic planning and ensure regulatory alignment. These experiences have sparked a strong interest in analytics and data science, which I'm actively developing through hands-on projects and continuous learning in tools like Power BI, SQL, and Python. I’m focused on deepening these skills to add even greater value in my current and future responsibilities—especially where data can be used to enhance strategy, risk management, and performance optimization. Whether optimizing IT investments or building scalable data solutions, I bring analytical thinking, systems knowledge, and a growth-oriented mindset to every challenge.
