John Uhri’s Summary

I love creating software that solves business problems. You bring your business knowledge and needs. I'll bring the technology know-how. Together, we'll turn problems into solutions.

I am a software designer and developer. I have over 12 years of experience in the industry building business software using the Microsoft tool set.

I have a passion for user experience, web standards, and rapid development of software using agile-style development processes. I believe working software is the best measure of project success. I think software's users can't express what they need from their software. Instead of asking what they think they want, we should show them something (even if not-quite right) and improve it based on their feedback. Software should evolve. This feedback loop is what makes great software. I don't believe that software is complete until it is obsolete.

I can help companies of all sizes. For large organizations, I bring my design and programming skills to your team. With excellent verbal and written communication skills, I am an asset to the team. For smaller companies, I am your full-service software developer. I bring the full spectrum of software development skills to your project. Contact me to discuss how we can solve your problems together.
