Joe Adair
Enterprise Software & Platform Leader
Software leadership grounded in hands-on delivery.
For more than 20 years, I've built software platforms and expanded that work into platform stewardship, infrastructure ownership, technical direction, and mentoring across higher education, research, healthcare, and operational systems.
Selected Work
Flagship internal platform unifying academic operations, research administration, faculty services, proposal workflows, and student-facing systems across the College.
Academic capstone and showcase platform supporting project submissions, advisor workflows, resource requests, and related operational administration across multiple terms.
Clinical research platform built for the AJ Drexel Autism Institute supporting autism-focused screening, assessment, and research workflows across roughly 2,500 users and 30 provider offices. Operated for approximately five years; grant concluded and platform is now offline.
Broader Experience
My background also includes teaching, mentorship, and research collaboration, which broadens how I communicate, lead, and work across technical and academic environments.
Adjunct faculty experience teaching university-level database administration and computer security across undergraduate course levels.
Ongoing mentorship of developers, student workers, and early-career technical staff, alongside hiring, onboarding, and day-to-day growth.
Applied research work, including co-authorship on HIVE-4-MAT: Advancing the Ontology Infrastructure for Materials Science.
