I've been a part of the IT industry since 1998, making the shift to product development in 2001 when I formed my own software development shop specializing in e-commerce solutions along with several of my closest friends. Since then, I've served as an R&D Team Leader, Program Manager, Director of Product Development, and Agile Development Consultant. Over the past 6 years I've led several architecture and operations teams in high growth and large scale environments.
