Work Experience

My career as a professional application engineer began as a developer creating databases for the US Navy and continues through two decades to my current position as a Zend PHP Certified Engineer working in Drupal. What follows is a brief explanation of my accomplishments in each of the roles I've filled over that time.

Development Team Lead

At IQS I lead a diverse team of remote developers while providing technical mentorship that has resulted in two junior developers advancing to mid-level roles and one to senior. I've continued to implement solutions for complex technical challenges, with past successes including:
