I’m a Senior Digital Media Specialist and Team Lead, an Expert in front-end web development, digital media strategy, chatGPT, analytics, and project management with 10+ years of experience
As a Senior Digital Media Specialist and Team Lead with 10+ years of experience, I excel at leading teams to achieve organizational objectives. At the Ontario College of Teachers, I’ve fostered collaboration and integration among College units, streamlined approval processes for digital products, and provided strategic counsel as a digital thought leader and subject matter expert.
A key aspect of my role has been implementing ChatGPT, a cutting-edge artificial intelligence system, to enhance the quality, speed, and efficiency of our digital media work. I’ve trained our digital media team to effectively utilize this AI tool, enabling them to quickly generate high-quality content, improve response times, and optimize resource allocation.
As a manager, I’ve cultivated a skilled team through targeted training and development programs, aligned with industry best practices and emerging technologies. I’ve identified skill and talent gaps across the College and helped train staff to fill these gaps in areas such as AODA, front-end web development, project management, and AI-assisted content creation, promoting a more capable and well-rounded team.
My skills in digital media strategy, analytics, and project management have enabled me to develop and promote strategic initiatives, oversee content distribution, and leverage data-driven insights. I’ve optimized workflows through task automation, allowing the team to focus on higher-value tasks. I’ve also introduced cost savings by eliminating outdated and inefficient systems, resulting in enhanced performance.
Prior to my current role, I managed online content and social media activities for Outpost Magazine and SickKids Foundation. I trained and led cross-functional teams in large-scale digital publishing and social media marketing initiatives. I also provided media relations support, generated daily social media content, and oversaw various projects, demonstrating a keen eye for detail and exceptional communication and collaboration skills.
Overall, my management skills, expertise in digital media, and passion for innovation, including the implementation and training of AI tools like ChatGPT, make me an ideal candidate for roles in digital media strategy, project management, and team leadership.

Conrad Gayle, President and CEO at Con-Radical Mediahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/conrad-gayle-96075118/I would like to really extend my appreciation for Daniel's efforts to increase action onto my blog site. He is very professional, detailed oriented, and is very thorough in his approach.
I have had the pleasure of working with Daniel Puiatti at Outpost for several years and find him to be the consummate professional. His knowledge of social media trends and practices is outstanding and he brings a wealth of knowledge, experience and creativity to the website and web presence. Dan is an excellent writer, has great general knowledge and an exemplary attitude. He is a committed hard worker, has a valuable sense of humour and is someone you always want on your team.
Wendy Quon, Managing Principal at eduDesign Learning and Project Consultants Ltd.https://www.linkedin.com/in/qnwendy/It is my distinct pleasure to provide this recommendation for Daniel. Daniel works in the Communication unit in a tight-knit digital media team of three. He possesses extensive knowledge and passion for all things digital media, marketing, and communications, and with a fondness for HTML and CSS. Further, he possesses great knowledge in creating digital media with the required accessibility standards. He is daring, adventurous, creative and a hard-working professional who will get the job done under strong pressures against time-sensitive deadlines and ongoing projects. It is without reserve that I would recommend him in any role that calls for multiple challenges, a need for excellent communication, technological skills and leadership.
I was lucky enough to have Daniel Puiatti as my supervisor during my internship at Outpost. He was a very patient teacher and made me feel right at home in the Outpost office. Daniel is very knowledgeable on everything related to content management systems (CMS), digital media and content marketing. He was always up-to-date on all the latest programs and apps that could help promote the company and improve the reader’s experience. He is an excellent writer and he even encouraged me to pitch ideas to the editor-in-chief, which led to my work being published online and in print. He taught me so much that I was able to take over his position as a freelancer when he was on an expedition. It is always nice to see somebody who is really good at their job and also loves doing it.
Dan is a critical thinker that brings value to a team. Working with him on a charity fundraising event and in a number of group projects has given me the chance to see his skills in action. He's politically savvy, knows the ins-and-outs of digital communication and has an uncanny sense of humour that lights up the room.
