I am a well rounded developer with professional presentation and outstanding communication skills, complemented by a

background in diverse industries including financial, telecom, oil and gas, public utility, medical, and manufacturing.

I received training in Powerbuilder and object oriented development methodologies in 1993 and since then I have been

working with all versions of Powerbuilder (versions 2 through 12.5) constantly and extensively.

I bring extensive experience as a software developer with the last 21 years developing client/server applications in a senior

role as technical lead, primarily using Powerbuilder with Sybase, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL Server databases, making

extensive use of stored procedures and triggers.

The diversity of projects on which I have utilized my Powerbuilder skills has provided me with a unique expertise that brings

to your organization the value of robust and cost effective solutions for your system’s needs. I can work effectively with

your in house staff to define, design, and implement superior system solutions.

I am available for permanent employment in the Houston, Texas area, or anywhere within the continental United States for

contracts. I can be on site achieving your goals immediately after establishing an agreement.

References available upon request.
