SUMMARY
I deliver results at both the management and individual contributor levels with my broad experience in application development and technical management. I have architected, built, and managed dynamic, scalable web-based applications, using primarily open source tools with a heavy use of AJAX and database back-end functionality, in the corporate and higher education environments. I am adept at creating complex, sustainable systems that meet real-world needs by working with stakeholders from the C-Suite to the shop floor to determine needs and requirements and design solutions that deliver functionality to solve mission-critical issues and drive results.
What sets me apart is my ability to work closely with end-users, analyze their issues, design and iterate on the technical solution, and implement those solutions with a focus on exceeding the value expected.
