Mark Lorenz’s Summary
I have been working for many years helping software development projects to succeed. I do that by mentoring the team members, introducing effective techniques and tools, and modeling business domains.
I focus on object-technology and the web, including SOA, Web services, Java, UML, and XML. I have worked with many companies large and small, including Rockwell, IBM (Retail, Networking, Australia, Canada), Bell+Howell, Viewlocity, PulseCom, Fisher-Rosemount, LabCorp, and SHI SystemHouse. Keys to success such as small teams, use cases, test-driven development, and multi-tier architectures span companies and industries.
As we have moved and continue to move from fat clients to thin clients to smart clients to portlets to ..., choosing and applying the right technologies based on system requirements continues to challenge the industry. I have been effective in delivering the right system for specific situations, as evidenced by my recommendations, books, online tutorials, and industry certifications.
