RPG/PHP Programmer/Manager/iSeries administrator

Hello all.



Due to a series of events my services are now on the market.

I have a very successful background in providing IT management, programming,
application development, and staff support for web-based and brick and
mortar companies. Perhaps among your portfolio of assignments is a position
for which my strengths are a close match. Throughout my 13-year career, I
have demonstrated strengths in leading and performing all aspects of IT
operations in diverse business settings.



As a manager and key contributor to numerous IT projects, I offer excellent
communication skills in motivating, training, and supervising team members,
as well as interacting with customers. I excel in fast-paced,
deadline-driven settings where I am recognized for delivering complex
projects on time and within budget. In recent positions, I have served as a
Lawson Specialist, iSeries/i5 Project Manager, iSeries hardware/OS
administrator and PHP programmer.



In assessing my credentials, please note the following strengths:



? Create and execute applications and methodologies that meet the evolving
needs of the company, senior management, employees, and customers.

troubleshooting, and maintaining databases, websites, server systems, and
business applications.

improvements and enhancements to increase efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
