As an entrepreneur, I've founded two successful businesses and participated in the rapid growth of others. As a manager, I've led software teams through challenging and ultimately successful software projects, using a combination of on- and off-shore talent. As a software architect, I've designed and overhauled large-scale multi-user systems in heavy load environments. As a developer, I have built world-class software.
I am always keeping up with the latest in business and technology, and always looking for my next challenge.
