>> 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.
