Jim Walton’s Summary

Over 12 years of I.T. experience has given me a wide range of experiences ranging from analysis, code writing, debugging, report writing, writing SQL queries and other DBA functions, such as managing DTS packages and jobs in SQL Server. A bachelor's degree in business administration, plus 5 years in the banking industry right out of college, helps me to effectively relate to the needs of the business community and translate that to development practices.

Being a leader, I tend to excel when able to take the lead on projects and cast vision for where we are going. I am also skilled at pulling together the developers and business people to help everyone
