I possess a rare combination of skills allowing me to be hands-on with all technical and managerial aspects of a project, communicate effectively and clearly with both technical and business-minded people, and create positive long-lasting relationships with my clients while helping them achieve their short- and long-term strategic goals.Having professionally analyzed, designed, developed, and supported desktop and web-based custom software solutions across the United States since 1995, I've taken dozens of projects from a basic set of requirements through to successful implementation with scope ranging from dynamic database-driven web fronts to complex mission-critical business applications for corporate and government entities.I am capable of working in any programming language, framework, architecture, or OS. My specialties include the full Microsoft stack, including C#, VB.NET, ASP.NET MVC or WebForms, EF, WCF and SOAP WS, Office, SQL Server, and all Windows OSes. I also have experience with major Oracle and SQL Server data migrations and transformations, VB/COM+ client-server systems, C++/Java/J2EE business objects, and have supported, decomposed, and refactored legacy systems written in/for AS/400, JCL, CICS, COBOL, Fortran, C, C++, VB, JSP, and ASP. I am also very experienced with small- and large-scale physical and cloud-based data center architecture, migration, configuration, and support as well as network topology design and configuration, and comprehensive cloud and data security. As an accomplished speaker and presenter, I have facilitated countless joint application development (JAD) sessions, open and closed technical forums/discussions, and given technical lectures and presentations to audiences of various sizes.My subject matter expertise includes finance and accounting, admitted and surplus lines insurance, claims processing, educational administration and instructional design, healthcare and HIPAA compliance, and agricultural and food safety.
