Richard Heim’s Summary
Early in my IT career I focused first on custom data-centric application development, later moving on to specialize in data warehousing, data migration, application integrations and data manipulation. A large portion of my time as a consultant was spent as a troubleshooter or doing "clean up" work, coming in to fix things once a project had gone wrong. I have management and team lead experience on projects of varying scopes and areas dealing with integrations, data warehousing ETL and web development.
