Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Obrien is a retired operations and systems professional with deep experience bridging customer-facing retail management and hands-on software tooling, backed by an MBA from Tuck and a BA in Economics from Stanford. Over decades he has built decision-support and pricing systems for pharmaceutical and railroad clients using SAS, early MS Access/Visual Basic, and later transitioned to studying modern JavaScript libraries and Google developer tools. He managed inventory, SKU accuracy, and omnichannel retail workflows at The Home Depot, supervising teams and driving initiatives that connected in-store operations with online sales. As a longtime power user of computers for data analysis since 1968, he combines practical business domain knowledge with a persistent curiosity about emerging developer ecosystems. Now based in Lower Merion Township, he is open to web-application roles serving retail clients in the Philadelphia area where his mix of operational insight and evolving front-end skills can add immediate value. An often-overlooked strength is his track record of translating complex, non-SQL analytical models into maintainable database-driven solutions.
