I have over 25 years of blended experience in software development, data management, IT operations, and infrastructure. I am capable of both technical planning and execution, as well as managing projects, teams, budgets, vendors, and large-scale technology initiatives involving strategic risks. My career experience has included leadership experience in many areas of corporate IT, including: software development; technology infrastructure, operations, and support; enterprise architecture (including data center, SaaS, IaaS, on-premise, etc.); disaster recovery planning; regulatory compliance; data governance; security; contract negotiation; vendor management; strategic partner development; and much more. I work with business leaders to establish a technology direction, then lead teams of IT professionals to implement and achieve those business goals, all while controlling costs across the board.In recent years (since moving to Switzerland), I have greatly enjoyed returning to the tech itself instead of continuing leading others to do it. This was first in more hands-on solutions development and technical operations, followed by my more recent several years as a pure ETL software developer.Specialties: Professional - Communication, contract negotiation and vendor management, personnel management and development, creative problem solving, business technology strategy, customer support leadership Technical - OMOP (Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership) common data model, Amazon Web Services design, implementation, and management (EC2, S3, VPC, IAM, Kinesis Firehose, Lambda, Elasticsearch Service, ElastiCache, Route 53, SNS, CloudWatch), Ansible, JavaScript, Node JS, Java, Hibernate, Spring, Struts, MVC, GOF Design Patterns, XML, RSS, XSLT, ANSI SQL, Oracle, PL/SQL, JDBC, SQLJ, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana, DAS, NAS, SAN, AJAX, Prototype, jQuery, JSON, LDAP, PHP, Perl, ASP.net, *nix, Borgbackup, cryptography, Microsoft Windows, Active Directory, Exchange, PowerShell, VBA, VBScript, WSH, ADSI, Magento, Hadoop, VMware, Hyper-V, LAN, MAN, WAN, WiFi, VPN
