My goal is to obtain a challenging and fulfilling position in the field of software development that allows me to apply my strong programming skills and my years of experience in the development community. The ideal work environment encourages independent research, working with skilled senior developers, and a strong emphasis on expanding my knowledge / learning new skills.
I offer an extensive background in web programming, enthusiasm to learn new technologies, and an appreciation of the flexibility that is part of a programmer’s job. My educational experience has allowed me to develop exceptional interpersonal and communications skills.

Currently, I am privileged to be working at OHSU with the Center for Research on Occupational and Environmental Toxicology (CROET) in developing an interactive research exhibit for use at area health fairs. The exhibit, as part of the Health Discoveries Program, visits low income, rural communities. The HDP encourages communities to both learn more about their health as well as giving them a chance to participate in ongoing research studies at OHSU.
My last position was at Jama Software working as a core developer on Contour Requirements Management Software. Contour is a web based RM solution whose core is written in Java. The UI is written in a combination of Spring MVC and an extension of the Ext JavaScript framework. Some of the tools used included Hibernate, Velocity templates, Tiles, Spring Security, Lucene full text search, and DbUnit.
I have also worked at Webtrends and ACS; companies with long histories in the Portland area.
