Summary
I am a results-driven career technologist with 25+ years of extensive hands-on experience creating and delivering web-based software solutions across a wide range of technologies and business requirements. I have proven leadership experience as an entrepreneur, Agile software engineering manager, architect and developer of software platforms developed using client/server, monolithic and modern microservice-based architectures.

Over the course of my career I have had the pleasure of working with many of the top fortune 500 companies including Microsoft, AT&T, T-Mobile, Texas Instruments, PepsiCo, MCI, and American Airlines to name a few. I have seen and done just about everything in the computer industry from managing to VMS/Ultrix Vax systems, to installing networking equipment, to developing software applications. I am currently responsible for driving the architecture, development, deployment, and support for all technology needs at Coin.
