I'm a management consultant, speaker, trainer, and mentor in the fields of software engineering processes and project management. I have more than 25 years of experience in
software development and project management, and have provided my services to private industry and government organizations around the world.
My current focus is on providing consulting, mentoring and training services to enable organizations to make successful transitions to new software and management processes and methodologies,
and in helping organizations improve overall business processes and software process maturity levels.
Work Experience
Prior to striking out on my own several decades ago I worked for a number of different companies. I have been a member of the technical staff at Bell Laboratories and directed the management sciences consulting
group at Ernst & Young.
Education
I did my undergraduate work in systems engineering at the Polytechnic University of New York, did my masters level work in operations research at Cornell University, and did doctoral study in operations research and
management science at the Wharton School of Finance, University of Pennsylvania.
I currently spend some of my time as an adjunct faculty member at the Johns Hopkins University, Whiting School of Engineering, where I teach graduate courses in object-oriented analysis, design, and programming.
Personal Stuff
In my spare time I like to cook, eat good food, drink good wine, read, and occasionally play around with photography. I'm currently trying to figure out how to make my digital photographs look as good as my 35mm slides.
I used to get my exercise by practicing and teaching tae kwon do...but now I just stick to the gym and treadmill :-)
