Government Digital Services, Delivered!
I turn mandates into measurable public value—faster services, trusted data, and secure systems for agencies, universities, and civic institutions.
I’m Avoseh Nunayon Richard
A Chicago-based program and project expert focused on Digital Services & Data Modernization. My work sits at the intersection of policy, technology, and operations: translating mandates into sprintable backlogs, building the data spine for analytics and openness, embedding zero-trust security, and proving benefits with a signed, auditable ledger.
I thrive where change touches real people—student housing and aid, permits and licensing, public benefits, research and policy operations.
Before consulting and client delivery at IntelliSuite IT Solutions, I supported large-scale initiatives at Northwestern University’s School of Education and Social Policy and served the UIC community through advocacy and resident services.
