Principal Consultant with significant experience in analysis, design, development, management and implementation of solutions in various industries and technologies. 30 years in the technology industry has provided me with the experience needed to complete full project lifecycle efforts as well as the ability to effectively communicate with both business and technology focused teams. I am skilled in facilitation for gathering high level business requirements from business representatives, defining detailed business requirements, defining functional and nonfunctional requirements, assessing technical and non-technical solution alternatives and producing all artifacts of the requirements, design, development and testing project phases. I am an experienced people manager, guiding and directing groups of architects, developers and testers across various clients throughout the duration of the project lifecycle. My hands on experience in development of J2EE web-based applications and integration layers allow me to identify potential technology and/or process related risks and challenges thus allowing my teams to establish proper mitigation plans before they become project issues. I also worked as an Account Manager for Sogeti USA. I managed day-to-day consultant to client relationships. It was my responsibility to ensure that the consultant had the technical support and training needed to complete client requests. It was also my duty to see that consultants were prepared to expand into larger roles within their client. I accomplished this by receiving client feedback and conducting written performance appraisals
