In Summary

I have over twenty-five years of experience in software development using a wide array of programming languages and services in many environments. I write clean, reusable code with an eye toward future maintenance. I effectively communicate complex issues with both technical and non-technical parties. I have managed teams on-site and remotely, both domestic and offshore. I thrive on productivity and am most dynamic while using .NET, C#, VB, ASP, SQL Server, JavaScript, Python and VB6.
