Professional Summary

I help with software development projects—often as a “part time Chief Technology Officer” (virtual CTO) for clients who are subject-matter experts but don’t come from a technology background. I translate feature requests into technical tasks, improve design and architecture, help teams take advantage of cloud hosting, and act as a technical representative on client/prospect calls.

Bio

I earned degrees in Electrical Engineering and Finance from Auburn University. I started Westglenn Software in 1994, specializing in Visual Basic, C#, SQL Server, BI, and Microsoft Dynamics SL. Over the last 30 years, I’ve worked as an independent consultant, CTO of a medical practice, and product owner of a SaaS application for medical records. My consulting work is now through Circlebox LLC, which specializes in portal applications and IT services.
