Overview:

Information technology professional with software development and operations experience. Independent IT consultant with business development, customer relationship management, and back-office adminstrative management experience.

As a programmer/analyst, I built a deep understanding of software development and IT operations thru years of IT projects. I regularly met with users and systems owners to obtain project requirements that I used to develop programming specifications. I worked independently and managed multiple projects at once. I analyzed problems, developed action plans, and executed the plans to resolve the issues.

While I was an independent consultant, I was responsible for my own customer relationships, business development activities, and administrative duties including contracting, reporting, and billing. I developed excellent organizational and time management skills while working on multiple concurrent customer projects.

As a JD Edwards Analyst I have a solid understanding of how the software is written from a functional side as well as technical side.
