IT is my passion and excelling at it is my ambition. 10+ years of experience and a proven track record of accomplishments, compounded with a strong and constantly improving technical expertise, make me a competitive candidate for a growth position at a company.
I firmly believe that the word "impossible" should not be in any IT professional's vocabulary. Finding modern solutions to business challenges peeks my interest, keeps me engaged, and fuels my creativity.
"The only constant is change" is an idiom I firmly believe in. This is especially true in modern web technologies. Ongoing research and analysis of frameworks, patterns, and best practices are an absolute must. Without this, skills, decision making abilities, and relevancy will deteriorate rapidly.
In both of my development and leadership styles, staying agile and responsive are of utmost importance. I prefer iterative development cycles which allow me to focus on ensuring the product is of the highest quality and continuously improving on what is already existing.
Played a key architect role on several teams totaling 30+ employees. My decisions and input drove their development cycles and application pallets.

Have been a key player in ASCAP's DevSecOps initiatives that include outlining, proposing, and approving workflows; tool choices; CI/CD setup; decisions critical to ASCAP's IT roadmap.
