Iolaire McFadden
Information Technology Committee Co-Chair
Iolaire entered early retirement in 2024 after a 25-year career in the commercial real estate data industry with job titles including Director of Data Science and Quantitative Quality Assurance Director. He had the privilege to work in a technical role without formal computer engineering education. He travels with his wife, Susan, as a primary hobby. He and Susan are long-term volunteers at local charity events, theaters, and for AFAC. As time permits, he is now using AI-assisted coding tools 6-8 hours per day to develop web applications to scratch itches that he has, such as Vedfolnir – a tool to help post accessible content to the non-commercial Fediverse. (The Fediverse is the post-Twitter/Facebook social media platforms running on distributed frameworks — for example, Mastodon.) Prior to a 2017 kidney transplant, he was on dialysis for three years and continued to travel receiving dialysis treatments around the globe. Life is easier now.
