Profile
I'm an alpha-geek with a passion for software engineering. I have a verifiable track record of successfully solving
difficult technical problems. I've worked on many notable projects in my career thus far, including one of the largest
and most sophisticated public-facing web applications in the world, as well as high-performance analytics software
used by the NSA and CIA. Additionally, I've trained and mentored hundreds of professionals in technical subjects
such as software engineering, web development, software scalability, Java EE, UNIX/Linux, client/GUI
development, low-level network protocol design, and system's engineering.
I hope that I'll be given the opportunity to work on innovative solutions with you in your organization.
