Andy J. Chang-Chien or "AJ" is a multi-division Business Consultant and Project Manager-in-training for Southern California Edison Information Technology Infrastructure and Telecommunications Construction unit. He specializes in business intelligence, multi-million dollar budgets, capital project schedules, project management, supply chain management, procurement contracts, and identified as a SAP 2005 ERP Super User by SAP, AG. Some say that his eccentric personality may be from his previous tour of duty (exposure) at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station while implementing SAP end-user functionality in protected secured areas of SoCal's only nuclear power facility. Before joining Edison, Andy has a decade's wealth of experience in the automotive industry in retail, OEM, as well as exporting; he still wears the highly coveted Mercedes-Benz USA Presidential Achievement Award ring.

Though immigrating to the US at the young age of 4, Andy at the heart is still a down-home southern Taiwanese "country boy" who speaks fluent Taiwanese, sings karaoke, rides a 125cc San Yang, has random stimulating conversations with comfortably-dressed-betelnut ladies, ah-yi's, ah-be's, and cab drivers.

Andy joins TAP with a simple mission of "lending a hand and giving back" to the Taiwanese-American as well as the Taiwanese community. Please feel free to contact Andy for business-related help, resume writing, a dining buddy, a spotter at the gym, running buddy, automotive-car help, a sous-chef, or if you need a friend. Andy holds a MBA, BA, and is currently enrolled in UCI's Project Management Institute PMP Certification Program.
