... about me
Working on over 10 products and 30 projects over the past 22 years in the medical
and general business industries for companies ranging from small startups to large
multi-nationals, I am a professionally confident software engineer/web developer
with full life-cycle software development experience. My expertise is in designing
and developing n-tier business applications; transforming vague requirements into
specifications, designs, and fully-functional code; and ensuring code consistency
and maintainability among developers across the application through code reviews,
coding standards, documented best practices, guidance, and being the “go-to guy”.
A self-starter, I am equally comfortable working in the UI, middle tier business/data
layers, and the database; and am interested in applying my skills to architect,
design, and implement business applications.
