This February, Nelson del Rosario joined the UVAFinance team as a Business Systems Analyst. With a background in project management and plenty of Salesforce system experience, he brings with him valuable, insightful knowledge that will contribute towards his work in Business Systems Analysis.
The del Rosario family
Originally from the beautiful island of Kauai, Hawaii, del Rosario earned his Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Hawaii at Manoa. He worked as a Project Manager in the construction industry for several general contractors in Honolulu, where he gained hands-on experience working closely with project stakeholders, honing his skills in managing complex projects and ensuring seamless operations.
Del Rosario moved to the East Coast with his family in Fall 2020. His wife, who currently serves active duty for the U.S. military, pursued a master’s program. Following his wife's completion of the program, they moved to Charlottesville, VA. During this time, he pivoted from his construction career into IT. He earned his Project Management Professional (PMP) certification and further expanded his technical skills by obtaining his Salesforce Administrator certification.
Del Rosario’s path to UVA was prompted through a friend who works in UVA's ITS CACS department, who was looking for a Salesforce Admin. Initially joining as a contractor, he transitioned to a full-time role as an IT ERP Solutions Engineer. Eventually, he found his way to his current role of Business Systems Analyst with UVAFinance because of their program's growing Salesforce involvement.
As a new Business Systems Analyst with UVAFinance, del Rosario says he's "still learning the ropes right now," but is eager to take on the variety of tasks, cases, and projects that arise, and is committed to further developing his skills. He looks forward to expanding his expertise by taking on different responsibilities within these projects.
In his free time, he likes to spend time with his family, taking his kids to new parks or on the variety of beautiful hiking trails Virginia has to offer. He also loves fishing--bass in particular. Del Rosario and his wife also enjoy wine tastings, exploring new restaurants, and vacations with their kids.
