>> My name is Ron Aswan [assumed spelling].
I am currently working at the Department of Treasury where we do business intelligence.
I lead a team where we take information really from all different aspects of business
and we help make strategic decisions on a variety of things,
everything on operation efficiency to what to do with funding
from a variety of sources of that nature.
My day kind of starts with working in teams, people with different backgrounds,
people with different specialties that allow us to formulate an opinion
or recommendation to solve an issue.
My day is filled with technology and using that technology to take processes
that were once manual, that maybe took months or years to do
in the past, and do it in hours and minutes.
It also includes pulling data from different data points that allow you
to really take a data centric look at what's happening
in our organization and then respond to it.
One of the things that you'll hear if you go to data.gov or transparency.gov,
it's all about what's measured and how do you measure those things
so that we know what's happening with out taxpayer money
with the efficiencies of the government in general.
That's what we do.
