SUMMARY

I seek a position where I can continue to expand my knowledge of emerging technologies. I'm happiest in an environment where technical challenges must be overcome. The technologies are somewhat irrelevant to me I've worked effectively on many platforms and with many different types of tools. Working with junior developers as a mentor has been particularly fulfilling to me throughout my career, although I can work effectively alone. I enjoy a team environment and I am considered to be easy to get along with. I have had over 25 years of Professional Software Engineering experience. During this time, I have architected, implemented and maintained Web-based, desktop and mobile applications on multiple platforms. I am experienced in Object Oriented Design techniques and Service-Oriented Architecture. I have been involved in the full life-cycle design/implementation/maintenance of commercial products with stringent reliability and quality requirements. I have had extensive experience in Microsoft Technologies, including the .Net Framework and prior application technologies, such as COM. I have owned a Microsoft Universal MSDN subscription for many years. This allows me to work with all of Microsoft's products on my home network, which consists of several workstations and servers. Currently I am working with Visual Studio 2013 and .Net 5.0. Critical general skills:

• Strong skills in Requirements Analysis and Design, including meeting with stakeholders to reconcile goals.
• Highly skilled in writing understandable project documentation of all types.
• Highly skilled in developing training materials and giving instructional lectures.
• Common-sense approach to balancing agility with discipline in software development.
• Practiced at designing efficient meeting protocols, moderating meetings and capturing/distributing critical notes.
• Many technology-specific competencies described in the sections below.

SharePoint

My private consulting work has continued by supporting ongoing enhancements to multiple clients' SharePoint sites. One client has an application for analysis and control of power equipment. It consists of a site hierarchy with sites corresponding to various physical pieces of equipment that must be monitored in pseudo real time. WCF services are employed to collect and manipulate data from the remote equipment. Another client is a lawyer who uses SharePoint in his practice to manage legal Matters and client billing cycles.
