Previously I was employed as Chief Architect and Director of Technical Services at Lombardi Software. After more than 4 years at Lombardi and more than 12 cumulative years working for software companies, it seemed like a good time to move into a pure professional services company next. My tenure at Lombardi was great- compounding growth in excess of 100% every year for over 4 years, and helping define an emerging space through success in the field. Best of all, it was a great experience working with the great people who work there and the great people I was fortunate enough to be able to hire while there.
Interested in all kinds of technical and management contracting
work, I founded Westslope Software to pursue just such opportunities.
I think you can see the focus of my business
via Westslope Software:
Lead. At Dell, I stepped in to help Seilevel run an 8-week
development project, from planning to User Acceptance, melding a
team of contractors and full-time employees, on a tight schedule
with a big upside for success, and massive negative consequences
for failure. At Smith Co, I took on an important proving project
for TestComp in their partnership with Zettaworks. A successful
project would lead to a fruitful partnership. A failed project would
forego that revenue. When I take on a project, I'll tell you what
the risks are, and what we can do about them. I'll also tell you
my recommendations moving forward. Once a decision is made, I'm
going to lead the team in that direction.
Implement. At Reynolds, implemented the configuration model for their new productline, the Generations Series, along with
supporting C++ and VB application code, and a test harness.
I don't care what it is: C++, Java, VB, Perl, C#. If its software, and you need help with it, I can help.
Deliver. On time and on budget, the projects I work on succeed. I'm not going to make excuses, I'm going to get the job done. |
