With 15 years of experience at a variety of organizations in roles ranging from programmer to project manager to business/systems analyst, Niki Hammond has become an expert in the practicalities of real-world IT projects, large and small.
Niki's career began in 1995 in the financial technology department of a major trade magazine company. After teaching herself HTML and PERL, she took ownership of 5 of their high-traffic websites. While pursuing a full time University curriculum on evenings and weekends, Niki spent her days working her way up to Webmaster and playing a critical role in the implementation of the company's first online content management system before completing her degree in 1999.
From there, Niki moved on to an e-commerce start-up company and rode the dot-com wave until it crashed, taking her company with it. In 2001, for a change of pace, she took a senior development position at one of the world's oldest and largest financial institutions, and after being bored to tears there spent the next few years running her own consulting business, teaching elementary school science, and creating a technology department from scratch at an award-winning SoHo design studio. In her current role as IT project manager for an internationally-lauded non-profit organization, she's using her skills and experience to help lead nimble, diverse teams of programmers, analysts, engineers and testers in a high-profile enterprise software project.
Niki holds a B.S. in Information Systems Management from Pace University and PMP Certification from the Project Management Institute. She currently resides in Brooklyn, New York with her husband and daughter.
