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 3.5SP1 using Silverlight, LINQ, AJAX,
and WPF on the front end, and using WFC, WPF, and LINQ or ADO.Net to access SQL
Server 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. Silverlight will work on Mobile
before Summer 2009 is over, now is the our time to act.
New technologies that interest me are Silverlight 2, WPF 3.5 SP1, XAML, LINQ,
WPF-based ClickOnce SmartClient, Mobile applications, Digital Media, WCF
WebServices, GIS, Imaging, 2D/3D Graphics. Geo-Search and Answer by Text/Instant
Message over Mobile in Silverlight.
I prefer Agile team-oriented environments with positive work values. My
previous year was mostly telecommute (work remotely, at home) and so far 100%
this year. This was easy with daily Scrums and am confident I can deliver in this
Agile model with better speed and lower cost.

EDUCATION:
Bachelor of Science, Pure Mathematics, Florida State University
Completed Major requirements for a Bachelor in Science in Computer Science
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 GUIs are great and documentation is complete!
