In Caracas, Heider Garcia supervises the deployment of technology to the client side, according to an archived version of his LinkedIn profile. He will have this job for next two years.
He claims credit for working with the controversial Chicago software elections sale for 2006.
“I was the supervisor of the area related to deploying the technology created, specifically the client-side application,” he writes in his profile. “In just 2 years I was able to achieve … Source code audit with political parties and ONGs [NGOs]. I designed the protocol and the process to ensure all parties left the audit satisfied and confident with the safeguards.”
He says he also “Defined the troubleshooting model and documentation to support the operation. The model designed back then is still used on every deployment in the present.” (Emphasis added)
“Present” is undefined in the profile, but was current while he was Elections Administrator of Tarrant County, Texas, a position he held from December, 2018, to June, 2023)
(The January 2005 date on LinkedIn is not precise, so for the purposes of this timeline we have placed it at the first Monday in mid-month, or January 18, 2005.)
