Summary
I have been involved in software development since the early PC days. My passion has never
dimmed. I am still excited to work in a field that is defining our culture and shaping our times. Over the years, I have developed software for embed systems, mobile devices, Web, enterprise systems, and designed and built large data stores. I have held many roles from DBA to Software Archeologist. I have worked as an individual contributor and managed enterprise software development.
I still love the challenge, the people i have worked with, and the thrill of seeing my products used.
