Steve Pridemore
I'm an independent technology consultant. I work with small and mid-sized organizations, usually ones without a full-time IT department.
I've worked with HCL Notes and Domino since 1996, in state government, insurance, healthcare, and manufacturing. Based in Thomasville, Georgia, and a US Navy veteran.
I hold CJIS Security and Privacy certification at the Privileged Role level for IT work in criminal justice environments.
