Lead Powerbuilder Architect and Instructor Resume

SUMMARY:

In over 10 years in the software industry I have performed in roles as diverse as instructor - training developers and sales force-, analyst/developer -delivering solutions to customers’ information needs-, and as a marketing person -evangelizing technology.
I was involved with the growth of PowerBuilder in the software market almost from its beginning, and I have hands-on experience in versions 2 through 6 and 12.
This vast spectrum of experiences taught me to appreciate the software industry from many different angles.
As a consultant, not only did I have to deliver solutions to clients' needs, but as a PB specialist, I always had to see the whole picture of systems, trying to recommend the best way to use PB.
Another role that deserves special mention is the marketing and evangelizing of software products.
Under this hat, I had the opportunity to appreciate the importance of effectively broadcasting technical information to customers, developers, and sales force.
This role put me in contact with another exciting activity, the development of proofs of concept.
This rapid development of prototypes to help customers visualize the solution to their business needs was one of the most challenging and exciting jobs I had to do.
Most recently, I have been continuing my growth on the Object Oriented paradigm by working with Java, Javascript under the MVC and J2EE architecture.
