Project Manager Oracle

SUMMARY

I'm a technology industry veteran with extensive experience in all phases of

the traditional software development life cycle (requirements gathering &

analysis; design; development; documentation; testing; implementation; and

maintenance) in a corporate environment, as well as the rapid application

development cycle using Agile methodologies in a startup environment.

My focus over the last decade has been product and project management with

periodic stints as a freelance consultant to stay in sync with the

state-of-the-art in the technology stack. I've played a Pig *and* a Chicken

-- http://bit.ly/dlLKWP -- so I have a profound appreciation for all the,

uh, animals in an organization, and the skills to communicate effectively

with them.

I gravitate towards smart people with elegant solutions to real-world

problems. If that describes your workplace, and you have a suitable role for

me to fill, please get in touch.
