Good morning! I am going through the new members orientation and the first suggestion is to write an email to this group introducing myself.
I am Michele Galloway who has been in the IT field for 30 years. It was an accidental profession for me as it chose me when I was an administrative assistant and the University of Southern California. I was blessed with a boss who thought I had potential and sent me to a training class to administrate a small computer called a Rabbit. That started my 30 year journey with information technology. I have been in many areas of the field and found my passion in analysis. So I do requirements for a living and have done testing, system analysis, data analysis, data modeling, configuration management, technical support, system administration and therefore am delighted to participate with technical groups. I'm exploring the "big data storage" and "big data analytics" so any work in those areas would be welcomed. I hope I have something to contribute. I do QA and requirements, and data and perhaps there is a need for those skills. I am currently engineering requirements as a government contractor and look forward to contributing to open source. Don't hesitate to contact me with your thoughts on where I might fit in.
