Summary

I am a Web Application Architect, Programmer and Database Designer. I am dedicated, loyal, and a self-starter with over 20 years of Computer Science experience and 13 years of Web Application Design and Development experience. If your company needs proven software architecture and design, project management, customer relationship management or customer training, I work hard to make this happen.

I always give 120% to any organization that I work for. I am here to serve your needs first and will dedicate myself to helping your company achieve its financial and other goals.

I enjoy working in corporate/enterprise environments, startups and everything in between.

I am a team player and work well with colleagues and clients love my professional "can-do" attitude. My communication and follow up skills are outstanding and I understand that this is one of the most important parts of my job with clients, vendors and colleagues.

Skills

Ability to translate Business/Customer Requirements into Detailed Design Documents (that completely document the business requirements). Once design document agreed upon I create a System Prototype to be able to visually show the user what the "application" will LOOK LIKE. This is THE most critical part of the 'design' work. The User Interface IS the "application" as far as the end user is concerned.

Ability to translate the business requirements into detailed Programmer Specifications including database design, code architecture and design, and everything a programmer needs to be able to quickly and easily produce the end result. I work out all the "hard" thinking for the programmer so they don't end up making design decisions that affect the final outcome.

Ability to manage the project, programmers and quality assurance process to deliver projects on time and on budget.

Ability to communicate with client to deliver the project through documentation, online or in person training and support.
