SUMMARY:

• My work history includes several projects where I participated in the entire SDLC on large and small teams and individual projects.
• I have experience with a broad range of technologies and n - tier development and design across all tiers including thin and thick client interfaces and relational database design.
• I have been involved with introduction of new technologies when in their infancy ranging from client-server, Clipper, Oracle in the early 90s and java/J2EE and related technologies in the late 90s.
• In addition, I have broad experience at product integration including legacy architecture integration and conversion.
• These projects involved implementation into mission critical environments involving large numbers of users.
• As a contractor, high quality, correctness, and timeliness are my utmost priorities. And, as a seasoned programmer and analyst I've got a proven record of coming up to speed on projects both from the business and technological aspects.
• Whether utilizing the current architecture and tools or when appropriate adopting new technologies, I always design and code solid, well thought-out solutions that solve the issues at hand with forethought for possible future extensions as appropriate.
• I've worked as a contractor for the last 15 years where I initially took short-term contract work and time off between contracts.
• More recently I changed my focus to longer-term contracts and the desire to return to full-time employment. Prior to contracting I was an employee with one company for 13 years.
