PROFILE:

• A creative yet analytical, self - reliant staff member with excellent organizational, writing, and oral skills whose attention to detail is exemplified by a very unique combination of eCommerce/eBusiness Windows and web development, prototyping, programming and scripting; graphic design; print publishing; and assorted technology skills that are further underscored by a computer/network systems and accounting background.
• This combination highlights an understanding of the seemingly opposing forces of the strain-at-the-reigns sky's-the-limit passions of design and technology, to the constraints of bottom-line, budgets, and project and time management.
• An individual with solid senior experience leading teams and projects coupled with extensive hands-on programming skills. An individual that thrives on challenges, doesn't know the meaning of 9-to-5, is very comfortable with technology, multiple projects, multiple priorities, deadlines, and cross-organizational teams. An individual whose approach to tasks is to solve the problems and find a way to make things work. A leader capable of taking projects from inception through implementation.
• Experiences follow the complete software development life cycle from requirements gathering through implementation, in creating new and enhancing existing Windows and web-based workflow applications. This includes the performance of business analysis on existing processes and design solutions aimed at streamlining those processes, eliminating non-value added steps, increasing the speed of throughput, and improving quality. Interfacing with application business owners and technical staff to gather the information necessary to implement high quality applications and troubleshoot problems with existing applications, is always an on-going activity that is augmented by establishing, participating in, and maintaining relationships with business units, internal customers and subject matter experts in order to remain appraised of strategic direction. include smart-clients/click-once, .NET, C#, WPF, Silverlight, Windows Phone, WCF, XAML, XBAP, HTML 5, ASP.NET, ASP, XML, XSLT, XSD, ADO.NET, JavaScript, HTML, DHTML, SQL web services and more.
