Who's Mike
I have worked in the IT industry for about 15 years for several major corporations. I worked primarily on enterprise level systems but also took on a number of smaller freelance projects. I primarily worked with classic ASP, ASP.NET, Cold Fusion, HTML, CSS, Javascript and Jquery. However I have also worked on a number of integration projects involving product feeds or order fulfillment systems which involve sharing data utilizing web services, windows services, and API’s. For the last 2 years I have been working for myself through my own company remotely.
I have had a number of clients with a combination of large ongoing projects as well as smaller projects. Generally this work involves a combination of UI and backend coding. I have primarily been working with both procedural and object oriented PHP in those projects. For the last 3 years I have had the opportunity to expand my skill set by managing teams of programmers, working directly with clients and business stakeholders and take a project from kick off to deployment. One of the major advantages that I tend to have is my ability to respond effectively and quickly to a need and execute the solution efficiently without added overhead.
I have found over the years that software development is business driven and the solutions we develop must be geared toward meeting the needs of the business. I make an effort to understand and work closely with stakeholders who need software solutions. I feel that it’s important to work in an agile fashion which provides accountability and flexibility to the business stakeholder and keeps the project team on the same page.
