In this role, Dave leverages his extensive expertise to aid in the creation of innovative solutions for various technological problems encountered by the public sector.

Aside from writing a regular column for the Michigan Trooper, Dave has published stock market and finance related articles on The Street, Benzinga, and Seeking Alpha and his short fiction is available on Amazon. Dave’s first memory of writing success was winning a young author’s award in the 4th grade. Ever since that day, Dave has been writing on his diverse expertise and interests. 

As such, David Kelly continues to leverage his writing skills in crafting impactful thought leadership articles that resonate with public sector technology professionals. From emerging law enforcement technology to data science and machine learning, from data management and business intelligence, to cloud computing, Dave shares his experience in delivering technology projects as a former government technology innovator and current private sector technology leader.
