Specifically, I can bring you extensive skills in guiding large corporations to greater productivity through strategic IT planning and management, enterprise architecture, cost reduction, risk management, program leadership, and a talent for building a positive environment for both colleagues and customers.

My 17+ year IT background is extensive with a record of increasing responsibility, innovation and accomplishment in all aspects of the enterprise project lifecycle, from initial conception through implementation.

Some noteworthy achievements at companies such as Nationwide Insurance, Target, Fidelity National Financial (FNF), and Huntington Bank include the following:

 Established solutions for batch processing framework by utilizing WebSphere Compute Grid and Virtual Enterprise, enabling customers to meet stringent transaction processing at FNF.
 Reduced customer application production cost 40% by identifying end-to-end composite architectural patterns for application development of service integration components, utilizing the ESB for service providers and consumer scenarios, security, information integration and common application patterns.
 Championed the use of SOA as an architectural style by promoting SOA and the importance of governance and helping the establishment of the Center of Excellence (CoE) needed to provide oversight and enforce the principles of software engineering.

I have consistently increased corporate revenues while building trusted partnerships with vendors and clients alike. In addition, I am a highly skilled manager of both people and resources with a record of accomplishment of bringing out the best in both and can easily translate these skills to bring out the best in your organization as well.
