SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONS

As a senior software developer and architect, I have experience developing both the front and back end components in a complete system. This includes development of both web and client server applications using various languages and frameworks. My knowledge of back end systems includes extensive Oracle experience, from programming to design to administration. My strong practical background in network design and troubleshooting contributes to my ability to design and develop secure and reliable distributed applications.

As an teacher, I have a facility with both hands on instruction and the development of course materials which effectively communicate complex technical topics.
