Objective

Highlights

• Throughout my career I have worked with the entirety of the software lifecycle, from problem definition and design all the way through release and maintenance.
• Although most of my work has been with C++, I am proficient in several other languages (Visual Basic, Java, Forth, and AutoLisp, a Scheme derivative). I have also done work in several scripting and web based languages (PHP, ASP, JSP, VBScript, and HTML).
• Working with many languages, class libraries, and frameworks has given me both deep and broad understanding of how to make things work. This helps me to understand the concepts and usage of something new, even if the specific syntax is different. I think this has been instrumental in my successes, as I quickly learn and embrace new technologies and adapt to new programming environments.
• I have worked with everything from back end business components that talk to large databases, to limited resource / limited screen size hand held devices. Working at these extremes as well as in between has helped give me the perspective that it is not just how much code, or how much functionality you put into a project, it is about what the user needs, making it easy to use, and get it to the user fast enough.
