I have worked in the software development industry for the last 20 years. In that time I have been in many different positions,
including Customer Support, Quality Assurance, Integration and Test, Network Administration, Software Development, Software Architecture,
and Management. I believe this well rounded set of experiences gives me a unique vision of software, how it is developed, and how it
affects all aspects of the business. I have had the pleasure of working with emergency 911 call centers and systems, public and private
education centers throughout the US, Health Care systems, Travel agencies, and Law Enforcement, both foreign and domestic. I have seen
well designed systems bring order and peace to near unimaginable chaos, and poorly designed systems do the opposite. I first bent a
computer to my will back in 1981, when I got my Tandy TRS-80 and the Basic book that came with it. I have spent my career finding bigger
and better ways to bend computers to my will, and replace chaos with order and reign in the mountains of quickly implemented, but poorly
planned software plaguing businesses today.
