About
Chase Budurka

Hi, I'm Chase.

I'm a technology and operations leader with an MBA in IT Management and a hands-on technical foundation. I like connecting the dots between what an organization needs and what it takes to make progress.

At Aptima, my work spans technology operations and business enablement, with contributions across marketing, strategic communications, and business development. I bring people, processes, and technology together to turn complex work into clearer priorities and practical next steps.

More than a decade at Apple still shapes how I think about service, craft, and the human side of technology. I care about whether something works well for the people who use it, not just whether it works.

Beyond work, I serve as President of the Wright-Dunbar Village Neighborhood Association and support pediatric cancer advocacy through the Dragonfly Foundation and Cancer's Kryptonite Carnival. Improv, photography, and my coaching experience keep me grounded in creativity, collaboration, and community.

Things I've built, led, and championed

Technology

AI & Workflow Improvement

Connecting emerging tools with real needs, thoughtful adoption, and the support people need to work differently. A practical, people-first approach to reducing friction and improving everyday work.

I start with how people work and where they encounter friction. My contribution connects exploration, communication, and practical support so that promising ideas can become useful changes, with responsible adoption considered alongside capability.

Community

Wright-Dunbar Village Revitalization

Leading neighborhood engagement and revitalization efforts as President of the Wright-Dunbar Village Neighborhood Association — one of Dayton's most historically significant corridors.

Neighborhood leadership brings together resident communication, community partnerships, and the day-to-day coordination behind a connected neighborhood. I care about making it easier for people to stay informed, participate, and help shape the place they call home.

Community

Cancer's Kryptonite Carnival

Supporting pediatric cancer advocacy through community fundraising events. Because kids shouldn't have to fight cancer — and communities can help tip the scales.

This is the community side of putting ideas into action: helping bring people together around support for children and families. The purpose stays personal and practical, creating opportunities for people to show up for one another.

Creative

Off The Wall App

A full improv tool built for performers, coaches, and teams — scene starters, warm-up games, character prompts, and more. Built with performers in mind, weird by design.

Off The Wall connects my love of improv with practical product thinking. The aim is to make creative practice easier to start, with prompts and activities that leave room for play, collaboration, and unexpected ideas.

Technology

Digital Experiences & Communications

Helping complex capabilities become clear, engaging stories and experiences. Work that connects technology, audience needs, content, marketing, and the practical coordination behind a useful experience.

Read moreClose details

I help bridge what an organization does and how people understand it. That work brings audience needs, clear messaging, creative ideas, and operational follow-through together, supporting both the experience itself and the people making it happen.

Technology

Operational Enablement

Translating organizational needs into clearer processes, practical systems, and workable next steps. Bringing people together around ownership, coordination, and follow-through.

Read moreClose details

I bring technical depth and a business perspective to understanding how an organization works. My focus is on helping teams connect the right people, clarify needs, and create practical ways to move work forward without adding unnecessary complexity.
