Summary X
Over a dozen years of experience as a system, internet and software technologist. The last 3 years have been invested in growing and scaling a significant internet service to handle hundreds of millions updates per day, support millions of web traffic requests and millions more database and search system queries. The prior 5 years were invested developing management portals and web applications for online infrastructure and content for enterprise software and web publications. I am an agile and inventive technologist with a rich background in major application and system design, architecture and project leadership. Focused on the big picture while tending to the details in tenacious pursuit of success, I make great things happen.
