Shushen Chia

Information Technology Director
I have 20 years of experience in the IT industry and over 20 years in data processing, data analytics, and enterprise application development. I direct all IT department operational activities and provide solutions/supports that enhance mission-critical business requirements and operations with very limited resources. At high level of competency in problem resolving capability and advanced analyzing skill, I lead, plan and manage IT projects with highest levels of customer satisfaction. I tirelessly explore and use new technologies for current and future agency's IT needs, i.e. open sources, mobile apps, GIS applications, data visualization, cloud, machine learning and AI.
