Objectives/Personality:

I am both a superlative software designer and an extremely able "hands-on" implementer. I take great pride in the quality of my work; but don't define quality merely in terms of abstract or aesthetic principles. I view my job as doing whatever it takes to bring commercial success to a software development project (within the role I am given). I am adept at understanding new domains, and inherited code. I have a very broad view, and deep understanding of programming techniques and technologies, and I invest significant effort in staying abreast of how these rapidly changing technologies evolve.
