Senior Software Engineer at Surgeworks
Portland, Oregon Area
I enjoy building web-based systems to help companies collaborate around their existing information systems. Lately I work with ruby on rails and javascript.
I study existing systems, tools and processes to understand what is working and what can benefit from improvement and then build proof of concepts to demonstrate possible future directions. My favorite topic is Collaboration. I like to help people collaborate through improved organization guidelines and business processes. I am skilled at integrating dispirit information/database systems via webservices and other Web2.0 technologies.
