I have an inquisitive nature.

I have built a successful career on intuitive, scalable interfaces for web applications.
A secure extranet document exchange system. A touch-screen enterprise social experiment in five countries across three continents. Scanning analysis review software built to protect valuable intellectual property amidst open source license concerns. A declarative software composition application, which allows engineers and legal staff to establish reusable component trees for entire families of product releases. These are just a few of the dozens of enterprise apps I've contributed to.
