Lead Software Engineer, Sr.

Developer, Programmer
SUMMARY
I have worked in the computer industry in the capacity of an engineer and manage
r since the early 1980's. I am goal-oriented and have the ability to conceive,
develop and manage large-scale projects. Taking pride in the quality, accuracy
and timeliness of work are important to me. Work well with groups of people, en
joy interacting and have supervised groups of up to twenty individuals. A Win/W
in approach to life and business helps me when dealing with people and helping t
hem reach their goals. I employ prototyping techniques when possible and am fam
iliar with UML, Booch, Aslett RUP and Agile methodologies. Have used numerous C
ASE tools and have worked extensively in Object-Oriented programming, state mach
ines and real-time programming. It is important to develop solutions that work
now and in the future.
