I have recently left my long time employer and begun free-lance 4D development work.
I have 24+ years of experience scaling a 4D solution from a departmental application into a full enterprise system. During that time I have worn many hats, some simultaneously, including Business Analyst, System Architect, Software Developer, QA Engineer, Configuration Manager, Build Manager, Release Manager, Tier 1, 2 and 3 Support Specialist, Database Administrator, and Project Manager. I have built tools to manage source code for multi-developer teams, build-management and deployment processes and real-time data backup via mirroring. I have used agile software development methodologies (mainly Scrum) in a team setting to deliver high quality solutions in a timely manner. I use Test Driven Design principles whenever possible. I have designed and built connections with external systems via ODBC, SOAP, REST, FTP and file share technologies. I have built a strong relationship with the Sales and Technical Support Teams at 4D Inc. Our application stressed 4D in a number of ways which drew attention from the highest levels of 4D. I worked closely with 4D Engineers in France and San Jose troubleshooting a number of elusive bugs. I have extensive experience upgrading 4D versions since Server 1.2x. I have presented break-out sessions at two 4D Summits including "Supporting a 4D Enterprise Application: The 24x7 Challenge" (2012 San Jose) and "A Simple Rules Engine Using XPath" (2014 San Antonio) I am happy to work on new or sustaining development projects. I am located in the Seattle area but have extensively experience with remote development. Please contact me via email is you have a need for a seasoned 4D professional.
