In a word: Focused.Successfully building software requires attention to detail. Throughout my career developing software and working primarily on the Microsoft platform, I’ve consistently applied focus to achieve customer success both as a technical lead and as an individual contributor. At the core: I’m humble, but confident in what I know.The sweet spot between insecurity and arrogance is humility. I know my strengths. I am never afraid to say, “I don’t know.” That’s something I’ve instilled in my kids because the smartest people I know, say “I don’t know” and then look to find the answers. After all these years, I still want to improve. I have a learning mindset. When I’m not developing software, I’m studying new things online and using sites like Khan Academy. I’m not a rock star, just a problem-solving perfectionist with an appetite for getting things done right, on time, and on budget.I’m experienced, certified in Agile Scrum, skilled in project management, and enjoy helping customers. I look for opportunities to learn through the experiences of others. I have strong communication skills, and I’m comfortable with public speaking.What I’m doing: Improving my skills and building great software.My software development career spans 20 years. I spent nearly 13 with Microsoft, the last six working with and leading virtual teams on a variety of Public Sector projects. I was recognized at the practice-level and received the Dream Team Award, for high performing teams, and an MVP award. I formed Blue Windover to take on new challenges and build great software.

Listed skills include .Net, Scrum, C#, Powershell, and 18 others.
