High-performing, happy and world-class. Seeing my team grow from an adept set of software developers to a world-class software team has been my greatest pleasure. The amount of quality code that gets deployed by this team is nothing short of stunning. That’s what I do - I grow great individuals into extraordinary teammates.What I’ve done* I have delivered an award-winning mobile app for the museum (Museum of the Bible: Discover) that has an amazing 18.11% deletion rate, which is unheard of for museum mobile apps (average deletion rate is just over 70%).* Managed projects across all three of my teams (web applications, mobile apps and museum interactives teams) that has resulted in meeting 100% of our SLAs since February 2012.* Hired and maintained team of great talent by hiring for culture first, then growing those individuals into amazing developers.

The amount of quality code that gets deployed by this team is nothing short of stunning. That’s what I do - I grow great individuals into extraordinary teammates.I believe that if you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it. You also can’t improve what isn’t measured, right? Well, maybe you can improve a little, but how do you know if you’ve improved without measuring it? Data is so very important in business. What do I measure? All that I can without it getting in the way of our agile processes. Here is a short list of what we measure that I am quite proud of:* 97%+ SLAs since we started measuring.* 100% on-time delivery of all major projects.* Not a single major bug pushed to production.

Responsible for the direction, coordination, integration, development and implementation of new software-related technologies for HEBCO, Inc. Implementing Agile methodologies covering the entire systems development life cycle (SDLC). Provide consulting for and develop software related to the "Internet of Things" (IoT).Started a software development team from the ground up to expand HEBCO’s capabilities from a technical manual sustainment-centric organization to a company that provides custom and shrink=wrap software to government and manufacturing organizations. Implemented Agile methodology into the standard development process.Designed, architected and managed the development of a wiring diagram application that uses source wiring diagrams used in technical manuals and provides a web-based, interactive application in which field users can highlight and trace wires using a color palette and trace the wires through a series of diagrams. It also allows the user to troubleshoot circuits by open and closing breakers and switches to see how it affects the module.

Manage development of software, data management and complex web applications using large data sets containing mailpiece defect information (about 360 million records a day). Developed Agile methods and processes to ensure highest quality product delivery. Develop requirements using Agile methodologies (FDD). And most importantly, keeping the developers happy, happy, happy. Because a happy developer is a good developer and they turn out great products.

Architected an Expert System for the USPS on a very large mail processing system. The system is so important to the USPS because it saves the USPS $100,000 per system, per day, so it is imperative to keep the systems running. The system uses machine learning to "learn" about a chronological series of events that cause failure. It then presents information on-screen so lower-end techs can fix the issues and get the machine running again. Managed the development and deployment of a national Dashboard system that gathers approximately 360 million records daily and rolls up into daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly reporting of defect information on every mail processing machine within the United States Postal Service. The information provides defect to cost information to each facility to assist them in how to best utilize their resources.Also developed a staffing management application that will save the USPS a minimum of $525 million annually.
