the early summer. I then accepted contract-to-hire as member of a project team working on a new MVC digital media asset system for Sony

Senior Software Developer
Live Nation Entertainment Hollywood, CA (Full-time perm)
4/2008 -2/2011
Worked as a special projects team member on a system of components that represented a ‘back-office’ management system for the integration of
other ‘external’ ticketing systems; including House of Blues, Eventim, and those of Ticketmaster; with whom Live Nation merged. My role was as a
senior developer specifically assigned to the ‘Ticketing’ host of components which made up this system on a special projects team reporting to the
Senior Vice President-Business Systems-Global IT. Maintenance and new development were necessary duties, as were more administrative duties
in the initiation, prioritization, and tracking of issue reporting. Interaction and communications were a required feature of duties; not only with other
team members; but across several different technical teams and business levels, with a multitude of ethnic, cultural, and heritage backgrounds.
Security, personalized presentations, and the presentation of ecommerce transactional data in an ‘absorbable’ form, were all paramount in my
current daily duties. Tools used included C#, VS 2003 - 2012, SQL, jQuery, XML, CSS, HTML, and AJAX. Duties included 24/7/365 third-tier
production application support for mission-critical applications.
Independent Senior Consultant
3/1985 – 4/2008
Projects:
Contracted and consulted with a wide variety of clients and work in various industries on applications primarily of a financial/accounting nature for all
business levels ranging from ‘mom and pop’ shops to the largest most successful e-commerce companies on the internet today.
Hands-on coding has always been a primary feature of the projects I have worked on. Direct end-user interactions and full SDLC tasks including
after-release support have also been major aspects of the majority of projects I have been involved with. I have served in various roles including as
an exclusive single-source for business analysis, requirements definitions, systems analysis and specification, and application development… a
team-member on large, complex systems for both desktop and internet distributions…and in roles that were project management and leadership in
software application development.
My best work has come as a result of my abilities to understand and grasp the newest technologies quickly and communicate with others about new
high-order technical issues in simple common terms. I enjoy an environment that requires artistic creativity as a component of the work and so I have
often sought projects that combine media experience and technologies with the ‘nuts and bolts’ of ‘back-end’ repositories to create unique and
attractive software.
