SUMMARY:

• Technically Experienced: I use the object oriented features of C# or C++ when architecting software or writing code, making the final product efficient, flexible and easy to maintain.
• Problem Solver: I approach problems in a systematic way, to discover the reasons and develop the solutions. When traditional methods fail, I look “outside the box” for the answers.
• Productive: I use proven ideas (design patterns) instead of “re - inventing the wheel”, when designing and coding software. The ideas come from past projects or from journals and books.
• Flexible: I can enter a new environment and quickly become productive. In chaotic situations I will develop my own structure in order maintain a high level of productivity.
• Business Experience: I quickly understand the business model behind the software project either by drawing on my personal business experience or my M.B.A. .
• Leader: The focus of my communications is on helping the project move forward. I will write a memo, teach a class, or mentor one-on-one in order to explain my ideas.
• Team Player: I use my experience and talents to become a member of the team and help the team become more productive.
