Bill Eisenhauer’s Summary

I graduated Texas A&M with a B.S in Computer Science and have been in a technical role ever since. I have gone from mainframe to microcomputer to client / server to middleware to web development in my 20+ years of professional experience.

In the past 10 years, I've been employed consistently as a Java Application Architect with an emphasis on back-end or middleware software. I have complimentary front-end engineering skills as well as I can do XHTML, CSS, Javascript, etc.

For a technician, I have always been able to bring to bear uncommonly effective verbal and written communication skills. This has opened doors to opportunities beyond pure programming.

I am fascinated by business topics like marketing, execution, and entrepreneurship. I consider myself a serial entrepreneur in waiting...waiting for enough capital. :)
