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.

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.
