TOSRCo - The Open Source Research Co. Find Your Direction! I am a professional problem solver dedicated to providing answers via research.

Finding your direction is both an external and internal process in business. The external form consists of the process of asking questions and receiving answers in order for you, the client, to make important decisions for your company. The internal direction is the employee knowledge base allowing your company's growth. I have used both my interest in technology and problem solving capabilities a

long with work experience to satisfy both to these forms. In today's landscape having the ability to be adaptable in work location is increasingly important. For the external direction process, I Identify information with open source research of Government Contracting (GovCon) applications. I have assisted Government Contractors, both large and small business, with the identification of contracting opportunities in order to fill their pipeline. This research includes the ability to identify incumbent contractor research, identifying possible future procurement (3- 5 years out) using historical contract activity as well as competitive intelligence research using open Federal Government procurement databases supporting Business Development professionals with their Government Contracting procurement research. For the internal direction, I helped grow a sole proprietorship into a small business that was purchased by a international corporation. I used my research abilities and interest in Information Technology to contribute in the creation of an online opportunity management application. With my knowledge of Federal Government open source applications, I collaborated with Web Developers, opportunity research analysts, and end users (the clients) to contribute to the development of the application. The end result was an application that was used for 15 years, cut research and data entry times by 50 percent , thus increasing company efficiency and revenue for both employer and subscribing companies with the increased exposure to procurement opportunities. In my current consulting role I have built as well as maintain a State & Local opportunity tracking database using LibreOffice Base and establishing communication processes. My Specialties:
Government Contract (GovCon) Identification Specialist | Business Development Research Analyst | Capture Analyst | Market Intelligence | Research Analyst | Business Development Analyst | IT Support

My new commercial: app.visla.us/project/view/1149533238750920704

I put this together to serve a couple of purposes. First and foremost to market my abilities since I am currently looking for work. As I stated in prior posts, I prefer to show my work over talking about it. This is a median that enables me to do so. Secondly, as I have also previously posted, I have an interest in technology and combining it with learning new applications.

In this case, I found the Visla application. It is an artificial intelligence video creation application. It is in Beta form so there are some limitations to it particularly for the free version. For example, even though I went and edited the entire script with Free sourced video material as well as uploading my own files, the application won't let me export saying that I have used the premium stock. Therefore I need to upgrade my subscription.

Overall, I like the Visla application, and has some neat features. I have provided a link to what I can share. Another irritant is that I can't currently share the full-screen version from the start. So, when you click on the link you will see both the transcription and the video. I am excited to see what future enhancements they incorporate. It has made communication much more manageable.

For full-screen viewing, simply just click on the small white box with the arrows pointing at two of the corners in an angle view.

I have done a lot recently around image creation. I have also explored other AI technologies. For this post, I used Tome which is a Artificial Intelligence PowerPoint creation tool. This application will create images but will also present a slide containing text similar to Microsoft's PowerPoint. My first attempt was to combine my fondness of history with this technology. I choose the Medici since I have once visited Florence, Italy from which the were one of the power families during the Renaissance. My primary focus is the technology and discovering ways to use this technology to incorporate into daily and business usage.

I am continuing in my journey in learning and using various artificial intelligence (ai) applications. As I have recently posted, I have set up a Fiverr gig utilizing one of my skill sets learned throughout my career. As my recent posts have indicated, I have used the combination of products created through artificial intelligence and by myself (human created content). The attached logo was created in this manner.

The artificial intelligence create portion is the red compass with the grey background and the original picture of the United States Capital Building in the bottom right corner. For these sources, I used Stable Diffusion Online (https://lnkd.in/gkagd82H). There are other programs like Dall-E and Midjourney which are the two popular options but they contained some restrictions for non subscribers. While not big, it was easier to find a program that allowed more freedom.

Now for the human part, I used Inkscape (https://inkscape.org/) which is a free and open design tool for the professional graphics designer (Visual Information Specialist in Federal parlance). All of the wording, inserting and clipping my head shot as well as setting up the various layers of this logo was manipulated by myself. I like to see how things work, so I played around with the program, looked up YouTube instructions to perform my desired tasks. I was able to stumble on how to "Trace Bitmap" in order to get the outline of the United States Capital in the bottom corner of this logo I have set up and will use as a framework and will upload to my Fiverr gig.

I am open for work either through my Fiverr Profile or through being hired by Corporations, Federal, and State & Local Government entities.

Note: This LinkedIn post was completely written by myself without any AI or ChatGPT assistance.
