Biography
Working in the tech industry for almost 20 years has provided me with a thorough understanding of many technologies, methodologies, and development practices, but I am at my best when I can help organizations establish a technical vision and direct and mentor software developers in support of that vision.
A proponent of open source technology, user-centered design, and Agile software development methodologies, I am happy to speak about these and other topics to groups of any size and of any experience level. I am particularly adept at communicating technical details to a lay audience.
