Leeland Heins’s Summary

Experienced in software application and web site design, architecture and development. I have worked in a number of industries including recruiting, banking/financial, medical/insurance, engineering/CAD and agribusiness. I am especially interested in encryption and computer security. A recurrent theme to my career is that I have often been brought in to "rescue" failed projects and complete unfinished projects. Over the years this has honed my abilities to quickly learn new business rules, analyze large and complex source code bases and be able to build a plan of attack to document, fix and enhance them.
