I am a software architect and developer whose career has focused on image processing software, specifically geared towards light microscope users in life science fields. Having worked for a smaller company, I've had the unique pleasure of taking on a multitude of roles spanning the entire software development process. I have negotiated requirements, written designs, managed development teams, written API reference manuals, supported clients, prepared installation scripts, and of course, I've written a great deal of code.I have also had many opportunities to interact with the users of the software I write, some of whom are end-users of turnkey software, others are programmers who use linkable libraries, and some are the sales forces who are trying to sell both types. Those interactions have greatly colored my technical designs, and have maintained my focus on both the business and technical aspects of software development.Specialties: C++, C, C#, C++/CLI, Visual Basic (including VB.NET), Java, Visual Studio, Microsoft .NET Framework, Microsoft Foundation Classes, Win32 API, Unified Development Process, Iterative Development Process, Unified Modeling Language, Capability Maturity Model, ADO.NET, Software Project Planning, Software Architecture, Design Documentation, Installation Scripting
