I understand my customers and stakeholders to be both internal and external to my organization and consequently treat all of them with the same high level of customer service.
* Specializations: My primary interests are mobility solutions and web-based software development. I have experience as a project leader deploying global mobility solutions that combine hardware, software, support and logistics management. Having managed web-based software solutions, I also write Ruby code within the Rails framework from time-to-time.

I strive to have an understanding of the full product lifecycle so that I am able to work across the various business groups in order to promote effective communication and knowledge transfer between both customer and internal functional teams.

This flexible approach to product implement has allowed me to continuously meet the rapidly changing business technology needs of the 21st century. I take an innovative approach to every technical problem. My focus is always on implementing a complete and innovative solution for my customer, not just fulfilling scope requirements.
