Pearson is an experienced Senior Project Director with over 25 years of leading systems design and development across the education, health, and human services sectors. He specializes in guiding cross-functional teams to deliver secure, user-centered digital solutions for federal and state agencies. His work spans the development of system and security documentation standards, oversight of large-scale web infrastructures, and the delivery of thoughtful, accessible UX/UI experiences that support complex user needs.
With a strong foundation in both IT systems and visual design, Pearson has led the strategy, design, and implementation of resource-driven websites and data tools for initiatives such as the Education Innovation and Research Program and the Personnel Development Program. He works closely with content experts to develop engaging technical assistance resources, ranging from interactive data tools to motion graphics and visual effects, for projects like the Ohio Individualizing Early Intervention Services Training Series, Tennessee’s Technical Assistance Network (TN-TAN), and Agenda for Children’s Interactive Resource Wizard.
Prior to this role, Pearson has served as a Technical Lead, where he led development for everything from e-learning platforms to custom management systems and specialized tools. His career began in the late ’90s with breakthrough work in global supply logistics systems for clients like DuPont and Alcoa and later expanded into health information technologies with the University of Pennsylvania’s Penn Medicine, focusing on cancer survivorship tools that improved patient-provider communication. Pearson holds a degree in Computer Science/Information Systems from Roger Williams University and is a graduate of the Horticulture Program at St. Joseph’s University (Barnes).
Driven by a curious mind and a commitment to quality, Pearson balances his work with a wide range of hobbies, spending weekends immersed in old home renovation, vehicle restoration, and “treasure” hunting with his wife at local flea markets. He also really likes cats.
