About
I am a software engineer for Pfizer in Collegeville, PA. I concentrate on designing and building enterprise software in Java and related technologies for clinical research and development. I am a strong advocate of the Feature Driven Development (FDD) process, Modeling in Color, and Peer Code Review.
I have been developing software since 1995 in Java, C#, Visual Basic, ASP, PHP, and C. My primary focus has been designing and developing web-based applications, although I have worked on my share of client applications, web services, and PL/SQL. I also do freelance web development in my spare time. Sample work can be seen on my clients list.
Recently I have been playing around with new languages and technologies like Python, Ruby, GWT, Flex, and Silverlight, but not to the extent that they need to go on the resumé (yet!).
I live in Birdsboro, a small town near Reading, PA with my wife and two children. I was born in Las Vegas, NV, and raised in Alamogordo, NM before coming to the Philadelphia area in 1997. I enjoy living in the northeast, but I do miss the sunsets, mild winters, and the mountains of the southwest.
I enjoy the outdoors, sports, photography, and spending time with my children. I also enjoy recreational math, crossword puzzles, wine (mainly pinot noir and chardonnay), movies, and collecting matchbooks and foreign coins. I am also a die-hard Green Bay Packers, New York Rangers, and Philadelphia Phillies fan!
