During my tenure with Arrow Global (Capquest Debt Recovery) I have done pretty much everything from defining the initial IT strategy that enabled the company to grow from two small offices and less than 100 employees to four offices (one international) and over 450 employees, to being directly responsible for the migration, cleansing and remediation of the data from the old (non-relational) collections platform into the new SQL Server, web-based collections application.I have carried out IT strategy planning, project management, application development, support, supplier management, budget management, purchasing, new site implementations and a site-relocation.I have carried out training in various managerial areas, including Employment Law, Leading Change, Managing for High Performance and Project Management, as well as being up-to-date with the regulatory training required for a financial services company.My technical skills include both SQL Server and Oracle, as well as Windows and Linux/Unix, various languages including Classic ASP, JavaScript, CSS and ASP.Net.I believe I am a highly qualified all-rounder, able to take on any challenge and operate at a senior role, especially where that role requires a solid technical background.
