Shane Gainan

Welcome, and thank you for visiting my portfolio. The photo above is my family—I'm standing next to my wife, Michelle, to whom I’ve been married for 31 years. We have three sons.

I have over 25 years of experience in Logistics and Maintenance Management. Throughout my career, I developed a strong appreciation for computers, data systems, and GIS—especially as they relate to supply chain management and global distribution networks. My work has included extensive data analysis, executive‑level reporting, and decision‑support products for logistics, supply chain operations, and inventory management worldwide.

I graduated with a Professional Science Masters in Geospatial Science and Technology.

I also hold a Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT), Bachelor’s Degrees in Information Systems Management and Mathematics, and completed 18 graduate credits toward a Master of Science in Information Technology through the University of Maryland Global Campus.

Through my education and professional experience, I have developed skills in server setup and administration, as well as relational database development using MS Access, MySQL, and PostgreSQL. I also have working knowledge of several programming languages and object‑oriented programming concepts, including C++, PHP, HTML, Java, JavaScript, Visual Basic, and Python.

I look forward to applying the tools and techniques gained through the MGIST program in my future work.

Thank you for visiting my page and taking the time to read my bio.
