In my idealistic view, the goal of a computer programmer is to teach computers how to understand people. The better job I can do with this, the happier I am with my work. I enjoy exploring how people think, and building software to make people's lives easier. I'm a seasoned technology professional with 15 years of software development experience that spans the full range of the product, from the original concept and prototyping, to a large-scale rollout.I specialize in OO analysis, design, and programming Domain Driven Design, Service Oriented Architecture and Enterprise Architecture, and am an expert in software development on the Microsoft.NET/ Java frameworks.Technology passions include: Scaling - I love making things go fast, finding out how to distribute load across clusters for availability and performance, and troubleshooting performance problems. I'm looking for a company with performance related challenges.Upgrading Legacy Systems - I have a lot of experience transforming existing legacy systems into a complete SOA Enterprise System. No system is ever perfect; however I believe there is always room for consolidation and improvement.Data Warehousing - This is a true art form. Organizing Enterprise wide data into a scalable and easily accessible reporting environment was love at first sight for me.User Interface Flows - As well as strong technical skills, I also have a creative side and enjoy developing highly attractive and fluid front end designs. I am an expert using Ajax technologies and have a knack for working with the business to easily translate user needs into easy-to-use front end solutions. Researching and Implementing New Technologies – I have a vast knowledge of all things programming across the board. I do not limit myself to one particular genre of programming. From Java Platforms, Mobile Development Frameworks and Document Management Systems like Alfresco, I believe it is important to be familiar with all niches.Specialties: LanguagesC#.NETASP.NETVB.NETADO.NETRubyJavaSQLXML, HTML, HTML5, XSLTJQueryAjaxJavaScriptCSSVB, ASP, COMFrameworks.NET 4.0/3.5/3.0ASP.NET MVCWCFWPFLINQPEGA SystemsRuby on RailsRhodesIDEsVisual Studio 2010/2008RhoMobileEclipseNetBeansExternal UITelerik InfragisticsOSWindows XPWindows 7Windows 2000/2003IIS 6/7Development MethodologiesAgileRUPExtreme
