Past development project experiences include governance and compliance management systems, mobile device management, vulnerability management software-as-a-service, web service/SOA management, and remote distributed surgical diagnostic medicine. Introduced Extreme Programming (XP) practices at a large enterprise software vendor which led to creation of a prototype in under a month, and a production release in less than 3 months.
