SUMMARY

I’m currently looking for part time or contract work, 10 to 20 hours per week, in web design and development, PC or embedded software development, or test system software development. 

My web designs have been completed ahead of time and have resulted in more business for my clients. In many cases, the web design paid for itself in less than one year.  My customers have been very satisfied with my work and not only return with new projects of their own but also recommend me to others.

I have been the software project leader for the flagship product of a medical devices company.  Major enhancements of the product software were completed in a timely fashion and customer acceptance of the product was excellent contributing to a sales record exceeding projections by more than 25%.  Coding and functional errors were extremely low on the order of 1 error per 20,000 lines of code.

I was a key firmware team member for the development of high speed check processing equipment.  Again project schedules were met in a timely fashion amid the pressures of changing design specifications and providing customer support.
