Mike Witters’s Summary

I am a Technical Architect at WinWholesale, Inc. I deal with everything from product installations and configuration to writing lines of code to deliver custom applications to suit our business needs.

I have spent the past 13+ years in the software development industry. I have been primarily focused on object-oriented technologies on Windows, Linux, and AIX platforms, but have also worked with mainframe technologies such as COBOL, CICS, and JCL. I have been an Object-Oriented developer and designer for 10 years. I was a presenter at the IBM WebSphere Portal and Content Manager Technical Conference in 2004 and have lead several training sessions on the Java Programming language, JEE, Object-Oriented Development and Design, and eXtreme Programming Principles.
