Web-based system integration, architecture, taxonomy, or GUI development projects where a front-end programming background, team-oriented approach, and highly organized software development lifecycle methodology would be of value. This would make use of my extensive analytical skills, client management, and problem-solving abilities. Considerable experience with operationally-oriented environments, with an emphasis on multi-domain or enterprise-scale issues to resolve, and opportunities to save the client money by providing them the right software and hardware solutions for their needs.
