Working with my teams to create cohesive project plans, driven by business needs and stakeholder vision, I've delivered on at least one product, re-architectural efforts and elimination of technical debt every year. Took Marquis from a family owned business to an enterprise. Building the software team from the ground up, putting the right leadership in place, building process and procedure, re-platforming legacy software, and even writing some of the code. Once promoted to CTO, I did the same thing for the infrastructure team. Starting from nearly scratch and hiring an outstanding team and then evolving the infrastructure into the enterprise grade maturity it is today, with fewer expenses.

Having two directly reporting managers, I’m staying in the weeds, performing technical duties and slinging code as well as performing as program manager and managing people, I remain extremely hands on. I’m directly responsible for Architecture and Management of 4 software products and resources. As the company continues to grow, it became necessary to restructure the existing teams into a more cohesive unit. Upon my suggestion, the CTO and I worked out a new structure with additional leadership and oversight. I was promoted to oversee the various teams, moving in place two managers beneath. The teams have hit some amazing velocities with this new configuration. I took on a more active role in management of the project backlog to take a product plan that had fallen completely off the rails, and getting it in order and on track, accountable and traceable.

Building and Architecting application and services on the Microsoft .NET stack. As an Application Architect I designed and managed the development of Marquis’ flagship software, by re-platforming an ancient technology stack into a modern modular application model with on On-Premise and SaaS capable solution. As a development manager, I hired and managed a team of top talent, making a practice of hitting deadlines and delivering more than promised. As a project manager I governed all projects associated with the re-platforming of Marquis software solutions; upgrading and virtualizing our local data center, migrating backup datacenter across country and building up Infrastructure for new projects, including co-locations, on-premise datacenters and cloud solutions in Azure. As a senior level Engineer, I slung code, initially alone, without a team, due to hiring freezes of one type or another. Our initial release was completed in about a year, 75% of which was developed by myself. CI/CD, DevOps
