I can help make your company, your department, your team, successful.If you are looking for a seasoned programmer/analyst who brings far more to the table than coding, then we should talk. Hiring programmers with little or no customer-facing experience can be costly. I bring a structured programming approach to the table. I understand the importance of making code manageable. My background of programming in Assembler Language makes it easy for me to pick up new programming languages.I have over 30 years of experience in the IT industry and I have worked with large global enterprises as well as smaller regional companies. Recently I have specialized (for over 15 years) with SAP, often in the Aerospace and Defense industry where I have been a Tech Lead, FRICE Lead, and ABAP Developer. My SAP experience is not limited to A&D as evidenced by my work with companies such as Goodyear, Celanese, Sports Supply Group, and Texas Instruments.My IT management skills have placed me in positions as Team Leader, Project Manager, Application Development Manager, and Director of IT. I also had the opportunity of holding the position of Vice President with a small start-up software company.My background includes teaching and training. Early in my career I was a mathematics teacher and a tennis instructor. I also taught several semesters of COBOL and Structured Programming at junior colleges in the Dallas County Community College District where I was selected from a pool of over 500 applicants.I am currently seeking my next Information Services (IS, MIS) engagement in the Dallas and Fort Worth area. I am open to discussing full-time employment as well as contract opportunities.Specialties: Programming, MIS/IT Management, Project Management, SAP ABAP Development, Internet Marketing and Business Development, Website Development, Web-based Solutions.Contact me and let's discuss how I can help your organization.
