Bio

Jim Olsen serves as Chief Technology Officer at ModelOp. He leads the technical innovation and design of the ModelOp Center platform. Jim is also integral to advising ModelOp customer CIOs and CTOs on requirements to better support their IT operations as they execute on digital business strategies that often strain technology infrastructure.

Recently, Jim has taken his technology expertise to his off the grid cabin where he continues to innovate building low power computing networks powered entirely by solar power. Jim continues to design and develop our ModelOp software in the remote mountains of Colorado using specialized off grid computing systems and satellite internet, while conquering the challenges of a seasonal road closure during the winter, and living miles from the nearest neighbor. You can see more in his blog at Off Grid CTO.

Prior to ModelOp, he was Director of Software Development at Think Big, a Teradata Company for the Americas consulting organization, and responsible for the design of their Analytics Ops framework. Jim has also held technical design and architect positions at Qualtrics, W.J. Bradley Company, and Convasant and was a Distinguished Engineer at Novell.

Jim holds a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Psychology from Clarkson University and currently has two patents in his name.
