Large Databases

In his first year out of college in 1986, Gus was hired to manage a small political campaign and was bothered by the way the database was managed. He quickly entered all of the data into a small desktop Macintosh and managed the race on 3.5 inch floppy disks, one for each precinct. Since that first campaign, Gus has spent years introducing technology into the political and non-profit environment. In the earlier 1990s, he built the voter files in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine for their Democratic Political State Committees. He co-wrote a database that was used by the Massachusetts Democratic Party to manage the large races of Ted Kennedy in 1994 and John Kerry in 1996. In 1998, he left the political world to serve as Director of Systems integration for Predictive Networks and finished their as Vice President of Communications in 2001.

In 2004, Axiom hired Gus to serve as a consultant to their Arkansas Headquarters as they built out their political data division. He also served as the data director for five key states in the Kerry for President 2004 race. In 2005, he was hired by the Democratic National Committee to be one of the three people to develop the first National Voter Database and worked their until it's completion in 2007.

Gus continues to work with databases as small as a town's select race to as large as the National Voter File and everyone level in-between. He has a knack for being able to describe the very technical back-end of the process in simple terms so that his clients can understand the universes that they are working with and he can manipulate them to develop answers to their problems.
