10 Kohlrausch Avenue, North Billerica MA 01862, (978) 663-0241

My Goals: A permanent senior software development position either located in eastern Massachusetts or southern New Hampshire, or working remotely.

I fit best in a Software Engineer position writing or analyzing code. Architect, technical/team lead or senior individual contributor. Other “nice to have”: open source, smart colleagues, mixed expertise teams, bleeding edge research, financial stability, and work with a reason beyond making money.

I can be especially useful if:

• your software project is too complex to understand easily, or

• your experts have trouble agreeing on vocabulary, or

• you want to turn a hand-wave into something real, or

• you have inherited complex undocumented code that nobody understands.
