IT & Software Solutions Consultant (tjconsult@gmail.com)
Portland, Oregon Area
I am interested in connecting with people who want to build compelling and useful web applications.
My passion is building applications and websites that are easy to use while simultaneously fulfilling their business purpose most efficiently. Making things simple is hard and I enjoy the challenge. The technology used, I believe, is secondary; which is why I cultivate the ability to learn new methods and approaches quickly. I consider people the most important part of the process and know, from experience, that excellent communication (using the right tools) and cooperation are paramount to the success of a project. I therefore strive to facilitate those interactions and implement the appropriate tools.
