Solutions Are Guaranteed! |
I'm tenacious. I don't give up when a seemingly unsolvable technical requirement manifests itself -- I try something else.
If that doesn't work, I try something else, and so on. I'm a very determined problem solver. Your project may (and probably will!) throw unexpected hurdles my way, but I
won't stop until I've resolved all the issues and you are 100% satisfied. You won't be left "holding the bag" with an incomplete project. |

Do You Need Someone Who Can... |
What I Can Do For You |
|
Transform the visions of senior management into working systems that enable your company to gain a competitive advantage and thrive in any economy? |
I can architect projects and follow-through in their design and implementation
, handling all aspects and teaming with other depts, job functions, or vendors to get the job done.I am typically hired by Vice Presidents, senior managers, or owners of companies to take a high level
idea and figure out:·
- If there is an off-the-shelf product we can simply buy and customize.
- If we need to develop the entire solution in-house.
- What platform(s) the solution will involve.
- What programming languages to use.
I have a Master's degree in Management Information Systems, which taught me to take a full systems development lifecycle (SDLC) approach. |
|
Enable your customers to have 24 / 7 access to information about your company, to check on their accounts, and make payments online? |
I can build you a Customer Service website that links to your back-end and allows customers to access account information from your company's
database. To see how I did this for a client, click here.. |
|
Link you to your suppliers? |
I can establish a secure channel for funneling data to/from your suppliers and your company's computer servers. Read how I did this in the
Business-to-Business Integration bullet.. |
|
Pick up the pieces from a previous vendor? |
I can bring your application(s) in-house, working with your vendor (if available) to understand all the components, their location, installation and configuration. Then I will build upon that
foundation to incorporate current and future needs of your business. On three previous occasions I took over projects
left incomplete by other vendors and I succeeded in all cases, not only taking the applications to the next level, but also producing
step-by-step documentation and conducting user training to help staff. |
|
Develop and/or support a shopping cart e-commerce web application? |
I know how to develop shopping cart web applications in both CGI and Java EJB environments. I developed a shopping cart e-commerce website for Inernational Masters Publishers, Inc. that allows users to purchase multiple items and then pay
by credit card in a secure environment. On the back-end, I linked the application to a mainframe to process the orders. I also
identified problem areas that no one had considered, and solved those issues as well. |
|
Demonstrate hands-on skills
in numerous technologies, not only to support existing systems, but also to develop new ones? |
I have 14 years of hands-on experience in numerous technologies, on multiple platforms, and I continuously update my skills. |
|
Communicate effectively, both
verbally and in writing, with non-technical personnel? |
I can simplify complex technical jargon, both verbally (i.e., in user training and presentations) and in the step-by-step graphical documentation I produce to help staff become self-sufficient. |
