OBJECTIVE:

I am seeking a Senior Consultant or Analyst position using Visual Studio 2008. I use C# to develop WebForms (ASP.NET and Silverlight), WinForms (desktop) and ClickOnce SmartClient applications.

  • My main interest is developing with .Net 3.5/3.0/2.0 using AJAX, Silverlight, or WPF on the front end, using WFC, WPF, and LINQ or ADO.Net to access SQL Server 2005/2008 (or Oracle) Databases on the back end.  Ultimately to display in an efficient and intuitive User Interface to provide a great and consistent User eXperience across the trio: Web, Windows, Mobile.
  • New technologies that interest me are Silverlight 2 RC0 XAML vs. WPF 3.5SP1 XAML, LINQ to XML, LINQ to SQL, WPF and Silverlight 2 to WCF and LINQ, WPF-based ClickOnce SmartClient data warehouse applications, Mobile applications, digital media of every source, WebServices, Remoting Services, GIS, Imaging, and 2D/3D Graphics.
  • I prefer Agile team-oriented environments with positive work values. My last position was a remote position lasting about 6 weeks. This was easy with daily Scrums and I feel confident I can deliver in this Agile model with better speed and lower cost.

CONCLUSION:

Projects I complete provide at least one order of magnitude payback for development costs in either saving from the application or in sales of the application.  My depth and breadth of experience allows me to implement Agile Processes in the development and maintenance cycle for near-zero defects with extreme RAD delivery times (2-8 weeks per delivery from design through delivery).  My logic skills, first developed at Florida State University in Pure Math, give me a unique advantage in my ability to use logic in program flow to achieve results beyond requirements.  I founded and have helped managed a User Group of 1300 members for nearly a decade, and have helped to lead and build a solid team in my current position.  Also, my GUI’s are great and documentation is complete!
