SUMMARY

I have significant experience designing and developing software for various computing architectures over the course of my career. Over the years I've worked in many industries Telecommunications, Mining, Agriculture, Finance, Staffing, and Commercial Software Development and in several roles: operations management, systems analysis, commercial and in-house software development, database administration, staff and project management, systems architecture and design, and programming in various languages.

Having recently moved to the Tucson area I am looking for contract work that keeps me here, and am not willing to relocate.
