EDUCATION

PROFILE

My professional career began in the 80's where I was a CPA and used my programming skills for various partnership analysis and I also wrote my own accounting systems. After 20 years as an active CPA I moved to full time IT and software development for the last 20 years. Using my business background, and the specific understanding of systems flow, I started, and ran, my own sole proprietorship for a period of 5 years before I joined Microsoft and worked there for about 8 years. I then made my way to Thomson Reuters Legal Tracker product as an sdet and an sde for the last 6 years.

Some of my projects, that I am especially happy about, are a full system for a client about 20 years ago that is still running and reporting results to clients on an automated basis. More recently, in Thomson Reuters, when I started 6 years ago, I reviewed their current automation system and determined that the code itself was useful but that they needed a framework to launch it remotely, scheduled, and unattended. I wrote that system over a period of about 1.5 years and included reporting that also supplied search capabilities, other actions on current runs, and compressed logs from the same web interface.

More recently, at Thomson Reuters, I also fixed bugs and added more functionality to the product itself.

My personal motivation in software development is to make people's lives easier and allow them to take out repetitive tasks by letting software do it for them. 1
