Senior Software Engineer

Since 1996, I have been a professional software developer with strong practical experience in architecture, programming, and user interface design. I have created consumer facing as well as mission critical internal systems for many major Bay Area corporations.
Some of the companies I have created software for are: Xerox Parc, Marcus & Millichap, NUMMI, San Francisco 49ers, HOK, EQE International, KLA Tencor, Bentley Engineering, State Fund, Edgar Dunn & Company, 501c Services, McCarthy Construction, Baker Places, Action Cellular, Gung-Ho, and Kardin Systems
I focus on helping users, by using open source technologies, a flexible development process, and the Unix platform to develop database enabled web applications, desktop software, and system software. More importantly, I use my creativity, experience, and the ability to listen to provide elegant solutions to real-world problems.
