PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
LEXIS NEXIS GROUP (Miamisburg, Ohio)
Manager, Software Engineering (2007-Present)
Managed 10 FTE software engineers, 11 offshore and 3 domestic contractors. Responsible for recruiting and
hiring, budget, performance coaching, bi-annual reviews and general resourcing. Ensured project deliverable
timeliness and quality, and use of software development best-practices (style, code review, unit test review).
• Built an on/offshore engineering team from-scratch, to develop and maintain the Web Services Kit
product, thereby ensuring reliable delivery of short-turnaround features, fixes, and support.
• Stabilized the on-boarding of a large offshore vendor, driving new approaches to communication,
training and productivity, resulting in improved code quality and better-focused SLA measures.
• Improved product throughput by mentoring four engineers into promotion-level performance, securing
them challenging assignments, providing broader visibility, along with coaching and support. Developed
a reputation for being a trustworthy and supportive manager, improving team morale and productivity.
• Stabilized development of two highly-sensitive infrastructure components, known for their negative
impact on flagship-product schedules due to defects, adding staff and focusing on early-often testing.
GENERAL ELECTRIC (Cincinnati, Ohio)
Project Manager (2005-2007)
Directly managed 4-member long-term offshore contracted team, tasked to maintain a high-availability data
infrastructure. Negotiated business requirements, managed customer complaints, created project schedules,
oversaw development and production releases, and reviewed vendor performance.
• Applied best-practice techniques to double the defect-fix throughput rate, focusing on granular
schedules, frequent unit test reviews, and standard documentation (javadoc, uml).
• Improved on/offshore communication by using term-internal “progress blogs”, which ensured
understanding of functional/performance requirements, and for single-location documentation of details
for resolving problems.

• Improved code maintainability by designing a replacement for a legacy application. Validated the value
by comparing performance against legacy performance using comprehensive data analysis.
VAN HOOSE ASSOCIATES (Fairborn, Ohio)
Architect (2003-2005)
Responsible for translating customer requirements into engineering specifications, customer presentations,
development / delivery of customer prototypes, coding and oversight of contracted-development.
• Stabilized the delivery process by designing and implementing continuous integration development
(frequent check-ins, automated builds and emailed build reports, automated smoke-tests).
• Improved product marketability by partnering with Microsoft technical staff to convert a Java User
Interface (JSP) to SharePoint Web Parts using C# Windows SharePoint (web) Services.
• Improved productivity by re-architecting the codebase to use design patterns (adapter, observer).
BRIO SOFTWARE (Fairborn, Ohio – Santa Clara, California)
Software Development Manager (1997-2003)
Managed an 8-member co-located development team producing a commercial (C++/Oracle) Business
Intelligence application (Brio Intelligence). Responsible for recruiting and hiring, performance reviews, and
bonus allocation. Collaborated with product management (new feature concepts), participated in architectural
design reviews, created and oversaw project schedules, and ensured best-practice coding. Ensured quality
product development across overlapping short (4 month) and long term (15 month) release cycles.
• Designed performance expectations, allowing developers to self-track effort against quarterly bonus
targets, using measurable goals including first-time code quality, schedule predictability, documentation
depth, and as-appropriate cross-team assistance or mentoring.
• Increased visibility into emerging problems or requirements by forming a regularly-scheduled meeting of
peer-managers, drawing from customer support, product management, marketing, test and engineering.
• Improved productivity by re-training entire local staff in use of design patterns (factory, observer,
adapter), leveraging architectural expertise from the headquarters office staff to mentor my team.
US DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE (Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio)
Electronics Research Engineer (1989-1997)
Responsible for designing hardware and software prototypes, developing research plans and monitoring
contractor activities for the human engineering laboratory.
• Validated human-computer-interaction research by designing and implementing a pen-touch display,
integrating off-the-shelf display and electronic pen hardware with Macintosh OS system software.
• Improved the graphical responsiveness of a 3D virtual cockpit display by integrating helmet-position
sensing hardware and predictive algorithm logic into the display software. Collaborated with leading
research scientists at the Air Force Institute of Technology Electronics Engineering PhD program.
• Field-tested a decision-support multimedia database for application of ergonomic data.
• Reviewed the technical progress of multiple > $5M applied-research efforts, including proposal
evaluation, milestone verification and field-integration of the final deliverables.
ADDITIONAL EXPERIENCE (Bellbrook, Ohio)
