Hello and thank you for reading my profile.

I am looking for a new position ideally as a Product Manager where the majority of my time will be focused on creating and/or managing profitable solutions being sold in the global technology and software application marketplace.

I have decades of C-Suite level consulting experience recommending technology solutions to enterprise level clients. This is in addition to my years of hands on full stack applications development experience that includes Android, iOS, Linux, AWS and others.

I was raised in an IBM shop at the beginning of my career so I live and breathe disaster recovery and business continuity. You live and die by your offsite backups. Use the cloud but don't let it eat your business either.

My current applications development skill set includes hands-on experience with many different programming languages including but not limited to Java, Objective-C, PHP, JavaScript, Python, Perl, VB, .Net, etc. I have managed and developed multiple Apps that have been available on Apple, Android as well as millions of Smart-TV sets globally.

I've mastered Full Stack Dev Ops, but I'm not looking for a developer or operations position. My skills and experience are better suited to delegating and managing product efforts than implementing them directly at this point in my career.

As to my recent experience I have worked remotely as a on multiple distributed teams for over a decade. These include several DoD projects managed by two different Federal Prime contractors that were my direct clients. I have been actively engaged on these projects for over the last 10 years.

In spite of this I do not have a security clearance and I am not interested in obtaining one or opportunities that require one. I am also subject to DoD NDA that limits my ability to discuss my experience on these projects in detail.

Additionally during this time I have also been engaged in several startup ventures in the streaming video and connected TV advertising space. To this end I have recently written a book on A.I. in the entertainment and advertising technology space that was just published in 2024 and is available on Amazon.

At this point I am considered an expert in live streaming video monetization by my clients.

I can work directly for you as a corp-to-corp 1099 contractor or you can hire me as a W-2 employee. I can work full time or some other type arrangement if needed.

I only work remotely.

I only work with domestic based recruiters.

Looking forward to seeing how I can help your venture meet its goals.
