October 2010 Inuvo Employee Spotlight: Kim Kitley!

For the month of October, Inuvo is spotlighting Senior Database Administrator, Kimberly Kitley.  Kim is a proud Florida native who has been a part of the Inuvo team for almost two years now. As a part of our technology team, Kim gets to leave her mark on many of our products.  Take a moment to read more about her in the Q&A below!

Inuvo:  Hello Kim, please tell us a bit about yourself.

Kim:   I am a Florida native, born in Manatee County and graduated from high school there.  I acquired a Computer Science in System Analyst and Design degree from Manatee Community College.  I am happily married to my husband of 21 years and I have two children, a 20 year old daughter and a 17 year old son. 


Inuvo:  What is your professional background?

Kim:  I joined Inuvo almost 2 years ago as a Database Administrator.  Prior to that, I lived in Colorado and worked for the USDA as a Senior DBA in the National Resource Conservation Services Dept and the City of Longmont.  I have worked in the IT field for almost 20 years, starting my career at the Manatee County School Board, supporting their Transportation Department.

Inuvo:  Any exciting projects you are working on?

Kim:  I am currently working on consolidating databases to a more robust server and cleaning up the databases that we no longer have.  This is assisting us in better supporting these databases.  I also work very closely with the Inuvo Platform; supporting the databases and deployments.


Inuvo: What are your goals for October?

Kim:  I would like to work more closely with the Operations Team, now that I am part of that team, and work on enhancing our Monitoring System to better serve all Inuvo databases and servers.


Inuvo:  What are your goals for yourself and Inuvo?

Kim:  I have really enjoyed working here at Inuvo; this is a great team to work with.  I look forward to building the technology and business for Inuvo, so more people are aware of what we are about and what we have to offer them.


Inuvo:  What aspect of your role do you enjoy the most? 

Kim:  I love working with the Technology Team as a whole.  They are a great team to work with and are very creative and passionate about what they do.

Inuvo:  When you are not at work, what would we be most likely to find you doing?

Kim:  I enjoy spending time with my family.  My kids are growing up so fast that I try to spend as much time with them as possible.  My son graduates from high school this year, so this will be a very busy and rewarding year for me.   I also love to travel, we try to visit new places all the time and enjoy cruising in Caribbean.
