OBJECTIVE:
The ideal job will provide interesting challenges to my ability to develop serious software. Prefer an environment where thoughtful design, attention to details, debugging and test are desired goals for achieving reliable software. A position that makes use of my abilities in working with people, technical writing, and organizing information. A "get the job done, well" environment.
Prefer long-term relationship with employer. Open to consulting. Arenas of interest and experience include software development, software maintenance, testing, integrating systems, documentation, or training. Have particularly enjoyed jobs where I worked multiple arenas of interest. Also open to some hardware work and management. W2, 1099, corp-to-corp are all possible options.
While interested in staying in commuting distance of Monmouth County, New Jersey, I am willing to consider good offers in most parts of the United States that have very nice environments for my family. "Commuting distance" includes Manhattan to Philadelphia as I am fairly equidistant between the two cities. My current residence has frequent and easy access to public transit to New York City.

SUMMARY:
Proven abilities to design programs that enjoy exceptional successes in
the field with satisfied customers and lower problem reports.
Very creative in breaking through existing problems with software projects.
At least six multi-year critical projects became functional only after I
took responsibility for them. Diverse experiences on different platforms
and industries provides a rich background for solving new problems while
avoiding many common mistakes. Have also successfully maintained or
inherited nightmare legacy applications.
Detail oriented person that can also understand the grand scope of projects.
My approach to problem is wid ranging and highly energetic.
Have an ability to work on multiple projects at one time.
Produce superior solutions by understanding the business problems being
solved and the business they are being solved for and not just the
technologies used to solve the problems.
Quality is improved by using validation tools to repair problems
before completing debugging.
Produce superior solutions by understanding the business problems being
solved and the business they are being solved for and not just the
technologies used to solve the problems. I also use software validation
tools to repair promplement applications requiring interprocess communications.
Responsible for software that critical multi-million dollar efforts rely on.
Yet also understand Windows and IBM mainframes at various levels.blems before they ship..
Possess an extensive mastery of UNIX environments.
Experienced at all levels of UNIX, from kernel internals through higher
application levels and system administration.
Frequently implement applications requiring interprocess communications.
Responsible for software that critical multi-million dollar efforts rely on.
Yet also understand Windows and IBM mainframes at various levels.
Unlike most programmers I actually enjoy writing designs, specifications,
and documentation.
Many of my documents have received very positive comments from readers.
Finished documents include everything from one-page cheat sheets to 300+
page manuals. It tends to be more efficient for me to write documentation
at my speed than to work with documentation departments in traditional
information/review cycles.
Sample writings available on request.
Some of my writings are referenced by owners of other web pages.
While I have certainly used Microsoft Windows at the user level,
and have even written a few programs under it, my primary development
activities have been outside of Windows, mostly the various UNIX arenas.
While I have nothing adverse against more Microsoft Windows, or other,
development, it has yet to happen.
IBM mainframes are another environment I have professionally used
at various companies.
By nature I am a strong optimist with a brain that seems to be "wired"
for understanding the details of computers.
This optimism is tempered by real life experiences in the software world.
Substantial experience working on high-reliability applications
critical to major corporations.
Telcom applications include migration of AT&T consumer billing from
IBM mainframe to Solaris platform.
Newspapers and magazines include The Los Angeles Times,
Dallas Morning News, Phoenix Republic,
Asbury Park Press, Trenton Times, and
Time magazine.
Manufacturing and repair manuals at McDonnel Douglas and John Deer Tractors.
Change management for AT&T Consumer Billing.
