I am interested in a softwares position that embraces my skill as a problem
solver and encourages group work, egalitarian coordination, close customer
contact, and many values of Extreme Programming.
I will also consult on the implementation of XP, collaborative methods and
automated methods.

Resume
Skills
- Relational database and query design (SQL).
- Object-oriented programming in Standard C++, Java, and Smalltalk-80.

Experience
June 2000 - August 2002.
Developer. ThoughtWorks, Inc., Chicago, IL
I was a founding member of the Collaborative Development Group.
My consulting clients included BP Integrated Supply & Trading in London;
Dana Commercial Credit; the financial markets industries; Input/Output, a
manufacturer of oil exploration systems; a web portal company; and
Seismiq, a leasing ASP.
I have been involved in the successful implementation of Extreme
Programming in several environments. My experience during this time
included Java: JSP, Servlets, ODBC, SQLj; C++: Cross-platform development
using GNU Autotools and GCC simultaneously with Microsoft Visual Studio.
I am most proud of the work we did on the QuickFIX FIX engine
(quickfix.thoughtworks.com). I also was instrumental in applying practical
methods derived from XP to save a data conversion project that had poor
software, waning morale, tense client relationships, and a dismal outlook.
I have experience in providing leadership after gaining respect for my
pragmatic approaches and problem solving skills.
