Chad Guynn
Panama City, FL — Program Analyst III, Gulf Coast State College
I build the integrations, reports and automations that keep a college running — Banner, Ethos, Data Connect, React on top — and then I write them down, which turns out to be the rarer skill.
Twenty years of enterprise systems, full-stack development, databases and design — currently pointed at higher-ed technology leadership.

Homelab, many opinions
I started in design, moved into development, ended up in databases, and now spend my days where all three meet: enterprise systems that have to work for thousands of people who never think about them.
Today that means Banner SaaS integrations, Ethos APIs, Data Connect pipelines and Experience extensions at Gulf Coast State College. Before that: SQL Server and front-end work for a statewide K–12 professional development platform, Rails and Spree storefronts, and a long freelance run doing brand identity and web work for anyone who needed it.
I finished a B.A.S. in Technology Management with a 4.0 while working full-time and raising a family, and I'm evaluating master's programs next — the goal is technology leadership, with enough hands-on credibility left to be useful in a code review.
