I currently develop web-based criminal justice applications for local governments according to customer specifications in a collaborative team environment. I have researched and written code audited for compliance of FIPS 140-2 and CJIS government security standards for criminal justice systems.I often investigate new technology and create proof-of-concept solutions for the development team. My daily responsibilities include working with other developers to engineer consistent, maintainable code, mentoring junior developers, debugging legacy code, integrating to outside systems, and generally fixing the impossible.In between coding, I manage our testers to ensure a rock-solid software solution, and assign tasks and bugs to the development team. By working with the management team, we keep our developers happy and projects on-schedule both in-person and in a distributed remote environment.I'm happy to work directly with clients and welcome their user feedback in review sessions, demo presentations, and hands-on training while showcasing our development progress!

As a self-motivated small business owner I built a custom e-commerce solution for replacement laptop computer parts. I developed a secure back-end inventory management and order fulfillment system integrated with UPS, USPS, Paypal, eBay, and Google web APIs. Our small company completed over 100,000 orders online, by phone, and in person at our Chicago offices.Running an independent business was a ton of fun. Daily activities included business strategy, sourcing inventory from international suppliers, connecting with local businesses and schools, overseeing online marketing channels, working with laptop hardware components, supervising employees, and satisfying retail customers.

I created content for interactive Flash tutorials and instructional training printouts for library staff according to specifications.
