About

I am a flexible software developer, architect, and manager skilled in identifying and delivering efficient solutions in technically-challenging environments. I like to be in leadership positions where I can develop new insights into solving problems, encourage new ideas and innovations, and design and implement both the software and the processes that will get the job done. I am at by best when I can both be a part of the day to day management of a project as well as being one of the key developers and designers on the project. I am looking for a challenging position in an environment where I can work with others who like to stay on the cutting edge of technology, who like to work hard, and who have a strong interest in seeing their products succeed.

Senior engineer on various parts of the Ariba Network including Hana integration, reporting tools, and replication of data from a Hana database to an equivalent Oracle database.

The project made use of J2EE, Linux, Oracle, HANA, Perl, and SQL. Collaborated with various different teams from the Platform development team, Project Management, and internal operations to ensure the proper software and hardware prerequisites were in place in order for the project to succeed. Quickly got up to speed on project to fix defects and provide missing functionality to various other parts of the project including UI, reporting, and database manipulation.
