Byllott.com was created in 2000 by the author, Chris Byllott, as an effort to develop skills in the areas of web development and graphic design. At that point in my academic career, while pursuing a degree in Management Science & Information Systems at the University at Albany, e-business was all the rage. Byllott.com became a part of my portfolio to distinguish myself in the eyes of the dot-coms and consulting firms recruiting on campus. These days, the site is up mainly because I still own the domain and I haven't thought of a more practical use for the space yet. Maybe I will think of something creative to do with it when I apply to business school. Who knows?

Currently, I work as a technology project manager at Barclays Capital in New York. Prior to joining Barclays, I was a manager in Ernst & Young's Strategic Technology Advisory practice. As a consultant, I specialized in helping IT executives at the world’s largest and most successful financial institutions plan, execute and deliver complex IT process improvement, strategy and governance, organizational redesign, post-merger integration and risk management initiatives. Clients served include Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan Chase, Citigroup, Bank of America, Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse, Lazard, Freddie Mac and GMAC Financial Services.
