Abraham Lloyd’s Experience

Senior Consultant

Consulting company specializing in the development of web-based applications using Adobe technologies (ColdFusion, Flash, Flex, Acrobat).

Omnicypher is the realization of a dream between my partner and I. For years, off and on, we would discuss what it would be like to own and manage our own company. Well, late last year we made it a reality.

Our theme/vision/motto is "Quality is our Code." To clients, peers, partners, and customers, this means that quality permeates everything that we do; our work, code, qa, design/architecture style, contracts, deliverables, and most importantly relationships. We understand how to measure and value quality; that, I feel, will make us successful.

Artromick International

(Privately Held; Medical Devices industry)

July 2008 — January 2009 (7 months)

At Artromick SPG, I had the pleasure of working with the brightest Engineering and Management Team of my career. My role was to work with their teams to ensure the timely completion and release of their best of breed eMAR solution. I worked with their technical teams to establish a release schedule, coordinate QA, and provide status to the company's management team. In addition to this, we established a timeline for eMAR's alpha, beta, and general availability release. I interacted with their implementation and customer service, and operations teams on a daily basis to help facilitate the successful implementation of their software.

Together, we were able to maintain an aggressive deployment schedule without any delays. Where applicable, we established processes to help ensure the success through their different groups. This project has been among the most rewarding of my career, and I am excited to have played a role in Artromick's future success.

My responsibilities included the design, development, and architecture of the application using ColdFusion v5 and SQL Server 7.
