I am a software architect and project team leader with over 20 years
of experience building both commercial products and mission critical
internal systems.  I work anywhere along the spectrum of high-level
design down to the bits in a network packet.   I readily switch hats
from manager to participant as is required during a project.

Integrated Computer Solutions, 1992-1999, 2002 - 2007

  Management Roles

    Engineering Manager

	ICS is a small, yet globally distributed company.  Over two
	thirds of our employees are full time telecommuters, the bulk
	of those in Eastern Europe.  I'm working to unify our processes
	and practices across this geographically distributed development
	team.  The technical problems I'm currently dealing with are
	team collaboration, continuous integration, quality assurance,
	and product-line consistency to reduce support costs.  The "soft"
	problems are how to form teams and motivate employees across
	cultural and business barriers

    Product Manager

	Was acting product manager for two ICS products - UIM/X
	and our Ada/Motif toolkit.

  Hand's on Technical Roles

    Senior Consultant

	I met with potential customers to help close consulting
	sales.   As part of that role, I do time estimates and	
	plan ICS's approach to completing the job.   Sometimes
	I act as part of the development team myself.

    Ada Products Lead

	I maintained and supported our Ada/Motif and BX/Ada products.

PopUpNotes (a spin off of ICS), 1999-2002

    Server Architect and Lead Programmer.

	PopUpNotes is a system for creating and publishing sticky
	notes on to web pages.  It consists of a client which
	plugs into the user's web browser, and a service which
	we run that hosts the notes.

	I was responsible for the overall architecture of the product
	and the design and implementation of several components in full.
	The server, the client/server communications protocol and the
	client side communications library were my full responsibility.
	The server is entirely in Java.  The communications protocol is
	XML based, tunneled over HTTP.	Oracle was used for the back end
	database.  I did the schema design and the installation.

	Eventually I also took over responsibility for the client
	code.  This was a Browser Helper Object for Internet Explorer,
	as well as the installation suite.


Integrated Computer Solutions, 1992-1999

    Architect & Lead Programmer (team of 6) for DBPak & DatabaseXcessory.
	DBPak is a set of Motif Widgets for building applications which talk to
	SQL databases. DatabaseXcessory is an integration of DBPak with ICS's
	BuilderXcessory to make a complete database application GUI builder.
	The products were released in Oct. 1995 for Sybase and Oracle.
	Support for Informix and Msql was added in early 1997.

	The product allows programmers who were familiar with Motif
	but had limited knowledge of SQL to write applications which
	queried and updated tables in any of the supported databases.
	There were extensive SQL writing abilities in the toolkit so that
	complex query and update statements would be generated on the fly.


RAC Information Systems, 1983-1992

    Project Lead
	Lead consulting team (3 to 7 people) in a multi-year effort
	designing and implementing systems for Greenwich Associates (a
	market research firm for the financial industry).  These included
	a market research data analysis system (project lead), client &
	prospect databases (project lead), an interview tracking system
	and internal financial systems (adviser).  An additional part of
	our duties were strategic IT planning and facilities management.

	[Note:  They are still using the core data analysis system as of
	December 2005.  Some components have been running unchanged
	(other than recompilation for new hardware) for over 15 years.]
