I've been a technical professional in the Web industry since 1994 when Netscape Navigator changed our lives forever. Over that time I've worked closely with countless cross-sector enterprise organizations to strategically align business goals with the right cloud web technologies and approaches to accelerate digital transformation and deliver complete experiences that engage, convert, and drive results.

I hold several industry standard technical certifications on leading platforms. I am a long-time Schreyers Honors College and award-winning faculty member in the College of Information Sciences and Technology and the College of Arts and Architecture at the Pennsylvania State University, Purdue University, the University of Denver, and the University of Maryland. I give seminars, hybrid teach, and author courses on Web technology topics such as: application development, human-centered design, security and risk analysis, and cloud computing in order to give back and to help empower the next generation of critical thinkers and web professionals.

Additionally, I am proud to have served on the faculty at Thomas Jefferson University and St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia, as well as one of my favorite places, Hof University of Applied Sciences in Bavaria, Germany.

When I'm not at the computer working, I'm usually at a hockey rink or soccer pitch with my kids, and/or running long distances, reading, fishing, supporting the Philadelphia Phillies, and hanging out on the New Jersey shore with my brilliant partner and the Hat Trick (our 3 sporty, brainy kids).

I love to travel, help people learn, and build powerful, useable, and valuable digital projects in the cloud.

Details

My professional work focuses on enterprise-level technical and creative development and strategy using open source technologies and critical approaches to media studies as a process for building quality digital experiences. As a Sr. Technical Product Marketing Manager, Sr. Web Developer, Cloud Architect, Professor, Technical Account Manager, and Author, I have been working on the web for the past 30 years helping to build sustainable web ecosystems for a globally diverse range of organizations, users, businesses, and higher education institutions. The digital web experiences I have helped build are used by millions of people every day 1 2 3 .

"Reflected in the pursuit of creative outlets found in the view of Terman's Genetic Studies of Genius, that the 'laws of nature are correlative, not compensatory', that good things go together... Greg O'Toole can be likened to the Niagara Falls, beautiful to behold but also harnessed to light up the city of Buffalo and environs."

Dr. Walter S. Nosal, Ed.D. Professor, Emeritus, John Carroll University (1918-2015)

I studied at Harvard University (Computer Science); Bradley University (B.Sc.); The School of the Art Institute of Chicago (Post-Bacc.); University of Denver (M.A.); and the European Graduate School (Ph.D.) in Saas-fee, Switzerland for my doctoral research. I defended my doctoral dissertation on extracting meaning from mediated messages with Professor Dr. Hubertus von Amelunxen, Ph.D. in Berlin, Germany. The book was published the same year.
