OVERVIEW

My expertise is in n-tiered object oriented JEE application development with a rich client front end. I have a keen attention to detail and place a strong emphasis on user interface and user experience design. I have had the pleasure of developing rich client J2EE applications front to back using some of the coolest technologies, including Spring, Quartz, Struts, iBatis/MyBatis and various JavaScript toolkits, including ExtJS, Highcharts, Dojo, DWR and jQuery. Over the years I have mastered and trained others on many technologies, both in the college classroom and professionally. I have experience working alone, as a team member and as a team lead, and have earned everal awards for the quality of my work, including a President's Award for Core Values and accolades for my devotion to customer service and for getting things done.
