Dave Dupre’s Summary
I use cutting-edge technology to achieve high-level strategic business objectives and have a history of proven startup and business experience. Known for both conceptualizing and delivering complex technology solutions on time and budget as well as my hands-on approach. I lead by example and carry a superior record developing, maintaining, and motivating highly-focused teams. With over 20 years of experience, I have a complete understanding of the business product cycle, demonstrating this with focused day-to-day decisions and working with executive management to craft both technical and overall strategy to fit a company’s competitive needs. I have expert, hands-on experience in all web tiers —Ruby on Rails, J2EE, .NET, C/C++, XML/XSL, SQL, Javascript, etc. I’m a master of the Scrum Agile process —successfully introducing five companies to it. Additionally, I am a solid communicator, excelling at presenting company ideas, goals and objectives to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. My products have been nominated for a Smithsonian award, and I hold three patents.
