Objective
My experience includes over 20 years of personal and 15 years of professional consulting and development of elegant
software solutions to complex business problems in varied industries including healthcare, automotive, entertainment,
document processing, group collaboration, and network marketing.
My goals are to build my career through short-term consulting and long-term contracting, as well as architecting
commercial-quality tools and SDKs to help other developers be more productive and follow best-practice procedures.
An ideal career choice is one in which I can utilize not only my software architecture and development skills, but also my
skills in project/product planning, business requirements gathering, use-case and test-case documenting, quality
analysis, deployment, triage, and production support; the full SDLC.
