I'm an IT professional with over 25 years experience in software development, product design, project engineering and architecture, and AI-assisted coding, as well as extensive management and leadership skills. I taught at the college level for 9 years at the University of Advancing Technology in Tempe, AZ where I not only taught over 30 classes, I developed the coursework and lessons myself.

As a software developer, I have a strong belief in the rigorous use of well-defined patterns and best practices for code readability; treat every code change as a message to a future developer (even if that's yourself). Well-structured code and applications pay strong dividends in the future when you have to change course or fix bugs.

As a tech leader, I have worked with teams of up to 30 direct reports and mentored hundreds of junior developers from fresh out of school to senior developer. I find the hidden skills that you have and bring them to a level that they continue to benefit your career and life for the future.

As a software developer, I began integrating LLM coding tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot) into my development process immediately as they became available, and have developed and deployed numerous applications for personal and corporate use in that time. When I was an Associate Professor at the University of Advancing Technology in Tempe, AZ, I developed and taught the courses on AI and Video Game AI as part of the curriculum, based on the books by Marvin Minsky as well as MIT course books on AI.

I've been working on web sites for almost 30 years, beginning in the early days of HTML, CSS and Perl-based CGI scripts, up to the most modern React/Node.js full-stack sites. I've developed PHP Wordpress sites, LAMP stack sites, and AngularJS/C# .NET stacks. For General Motors I worked directly on the GM.com, Buick.com, Cadillac.com and Opel.com websites as the Senior Director for a team of 15 direct reports; I'm currently working on web site design and development for two area startups. I've also worked with many major Web frameworks including Episerver/Optimizely, Drupal, Wordpress, and Blazor/.NET. These projects have included the full path of development, from design/UX, through development, UAT testing, deployment, and post-deployment enhancements.
