I am an IT Solutions Architect with extensive experience across a broad range of Microsoft .NET technologies. I work with your team to analyze requirements and determine the most appropriate application architecture based on application needs, current architectural strategies, and technologies supported by your organization. I am best known for the ability to strategize, design, implement, and lead application development projects focused on delivering business value to customers. I enjoy working with development teams to create innovative solutions to complex business problems using modern technology. I love to mentor teams to help them hone their technology and organizational skills to allow them to produce visible business value throughout the application lifecycle. I believe that empowering the development team and encouraging them to utilize their current and future skills, will produce a team with higher job satisfaction and encourage them to go the extra mile to solve business problems.
