Introducing Patrick Cooley

I started my career journey as an Army officer where I learned leadership in roles that took me on adventures from Asia to Europe to the Middle East. I learned many valuable life lessons in courage, humility, and teamwork as I broadened my knowledge of the world and those in it. Post-Army roles have helped me learn about manufacturing, economics, and care of infrastructure. I have continued learning as an app developer using Power Apps and Power Automate to modernize and streamline legacy systems. I enjoy the challenge of working collaboratively with a global team to come up with solutions harnessing the power of automation.
