This software engineer possesses all the qualities every consultant wishes they had: he’s committed, thorough, resourceful, and knowledgeable.

As a consultant and trainer he has successfully delivered JBuilder, Together, Visibroker, Optimizeit, ServerTrace and BES services to customers like Pfizer, Los Angeles Police Department, Pacificare, Cisco and numerous others. When not fully engaged, he actively pursues account managers to develop business solutions that include products, consulting and training.
