OVERVIEW

I have mostly worked for very large corporations for the past 16 years, and; data application design is not only my career, it is also my hobby. Throughout the timeline of my resume are frequently overlapping jobs. These are times I was either working 16+ hours every day, or I was creating a project for an independent client for my personally owned company, Ideal Database, Inc. Some of the projects created where I was the exclusive developer for both front end and database and also the Business Analyst accomplishing all aspects of specification gathering and final documentation include:

www.Timeclock.website www.FoodBeverageIntelligence.com www.DryCleaningMadeSimple.com www.ReceiptDetails.com www.SchoolSecuritySystems.com www.securityinc.co www.CompGC.com www.Lodge265.0rg www.MyWayWeb.com Point of Sale, Time clock, employee scheduling, and party booking tool for Bounce House A portal for accepting T-4 bids and CIMS bids for government contracts and subcontractors Cookbook software to easily create a cookbook and print it in format acceptable by the

major publishers

My approach to team projects is to place as a high priority the “Fun Factor”. The kind of fun where everyone feels comfortable to speak their mind freely, and to get the endorphin from accomplishing something by overcoming all the obstacles that at first made it seem to be either extremely difficult or even a brick wall.

In most every project, I have implemented the skills identified in my the section above “Specific Skills & Knowledge”. Frequently I am hired for a specific role, and the team ultimately tasks to to additional roles based on my demonstration of skills and knowledge of having “been there, … done that” to generate streamlined solutions.

My career path as a developer has been mostly as a contractor on projects until the project completes, and then to move onto the next project. I develop in a very organized manner, with rigid control of naming conventions and also for commenting my code so that future developers can most easily pick up the pieces where I have left off. I follow the same organizational approach to my formal documentation and specification gathering.

During one interview, I was asked to give 5 words to best describe me. After deep thought, I responded, “Keep It Simple Straight Forward”
