Brand Point, Nantucket, 2009
I am a Senior Software Development Manager for GDIT working with a small team that helps upgrade, improve and maintain Think Cultural Health, a project of the Office of Minority Health of the Department of Health and Human Services, and develops PopMedNet, a project for the FDA Sentinel Project, that is co-designed with Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute. With over 20 years experience in the software industry, I combine a broad understanding of the principles and interrelationship of various software components with an in-depth knowledge of specific key technologies to help many businesses bring about the successful completion of their projects.
I am a general partner at Avacoda, LLC, a software consulting company. Previously, I was the Director of Software Development for Lincoln Peak Partners, where PopMedNet was first conceived and developed.
My recent interest has been in the application of Agile methodology and Cloud Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) to deliver high-impact, high-quality applications on time at a reasonable cost. The goals are to apply Agile to improve the performance of a tightly integrated development, QA and infrastructure team and to focus on application delivery using PaaS in order to eliminate the platforms as a concern.
My background encompasses both *nix and Windows OSes and has worked in both Java and .NET frameworks. I have participated in work on software internationalization and 508 compliance.
