My Background
I am a Solutions-focused, team oriented software engineer with broad-based experience
and hands-on skill in the successful implementation of highly effective enterprise
solutions ranging from integrated consumer portal and production facility workflow
to business intelligence and decision support solutions development.
I have the proven ability to successfully lead development teams, analyze an organization's
critical business process requirements, and identify deficiencies and potential
opportunities. I have 15+ years experience developing innovative solutions for increasing
reliability and efficiency, while improving ROI and product life cycle.
In addition, I have in-depth knowledge of computer hardware and networking, including
firewall configuration, load balancing, bandwidth and latency issues as related
to application architecture, server performance, management, and troubleshooting
experience as well as limited mechanical and electrical engineering knowledge.
