Since 1978, I have served as a System Architect, Technical Marketer, Analyst and Developer on a diverse range of software projects. As a consultant, I gained daily experience in marketing and rate negotiations related to contract projects.

Many projects required cultivating relationships with internal and external customers, gathering requirements, writing proposals, making presentations, cost analysis, human resource allocations and project scheduling.

All projects required varying degrees of project management skills.

Industries in which I have worked include commercial software development, semiconductor fabrication, oil exploration, airline reservations, global telecommunication control systems, aircraft manufacturing and chemical production.
