I am a person who can add a new perspective and energy to your team. I have decades of experience and
have guided and nurtured many successful systems. I am an innovative thinker who regularly reflects on what is
possible and how to improve things. I have worked on several patents. I view systems from many angles after having
filled the roles of software engineer, software architect, product manager, consultant and company leader. I
create software with precision and attention to detail. I aim to raise the expectations of what is possible.
I believe in integrity, continuous growth, optimism and kindness.
