SUMMARY
I have worked in the computer industry in the capacity of an engineer and manager since the early 1980's. I am goal-oriented and have the ability to conceive, develop and manage large-scale projects. Taking pride in the quality, accuracy and timeliness of work are important to me. Work well with groups of people, enjoy interacting and have supervised groups of up to twenty individuals. A Win/Win approach to life and business helps me when dealing with people and helping them reach their goals. I employ prototyping techniques when possible and am familiar with UML, Booch, Aslett RUP and Agile methodologies. Have used numerous CASE tools and have worked extensively in Object-Oriented programming, state machines and real-time programming. It is important to develop solutions that work now and in the future.
