Benjamin Bartlett
|
 |
At Mecklenburg County Information Technology Services (ITS), Ben’s role is to (function as a) bridge between pure software development (as well as almost anything else 'IT'), and real-world deployment of technology solutions to business partners and end-users.
While Ben’s title for the past year has become Quality Assurance Tester, he accomplishes the role from a Business Analyst perspective – which he has fulfilled for over the previous 12 years between Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation, and the City of Charlotte 311 Contact Center. Ben is a graduate of Hampton University with a B.S. in Computer Information Systems. A native of New York City, Ben resides in Charlotte, NC. His greatest joy (and challenge) of having a deep, hands-on experience in communications, business analysis, and problem-solving skills – across many domains – is attempting to be seen as cool by his wife and two teenage daughters. Until that happens, Ben is usually engaged in history, sports and music in his spare time.
