About this Resume

This is not a formal resume, though it contains all of the information that a hard copy would contain. Unfortunately I cannot post personal contact information here; it saddens me that our world is filled with people that would use their technical prowess for less-than-wholesome ends such as identity theft. However, if you like what you see, please feel free to send me e-mail through my contact form, available here or by clicking on the "Contact" link at the top of this page.

When I'm not working with paying clients, I occasionally work with non-profit groups such as MU student organizations. If you have a little extra, and feel like donating it to those who don't, please click the PayPal link below. It won't go unnoticed and will certainly be appreciated.

This is why I'm hot...

Real-World Experience

Programmer / Analyst
Medical School Education Technology Services (MSETS)
MU School of Medicine
University of Missouri-Columbia
•At MSETS I work in a small, close-knit group of 5 other programmers and one project manager. We develop customized applications for the School of Medicine using C# and the .NET framework. Most of our applications are data-driven, ergo lots of thought has to occur before any programming gets done. When I started there was no formal software engineering process to speak of; now we've got a great framework in place and it just keeps getting smoother and more streamlined with each day that passes. I like to think of where we'll be as a department in a few years...
