Professional Summary (resume)
I just founded Jemurai to work on software development security.
That is now my sole focus. Check it out.
For four years from 2008-2012, I was a Director and Software Architect in the Engineering group at
Trustwave,
an internet security company (yes, the PCI one) with a broad range of product and service offerings. I worked with
a number of our technologies and products but I'm sure I'm not at liberty to disclose any interesting details.
I enjoyed the security space, and working through many familiar challenges with regard to running software
development projects.
Before joining Trustwave, I ran consulting in North America at Applimation, a data management software
company that has since been aquired by Informatica. While I learned a lot from interacting with the
folks that run ERP projects at Fortune 500 companies, running consulting for a product company was a
little too far afield from building the software - which has always been my passion.
From 2003-2007 I worked at Redpoint Technologies, a Chicago
based consulting firm specializing in the most current object oriented technologies and agile
development practices. This was absolutely a highlight in terms of the quality of people I was
working with. I would continue to recommend them for anyone doing harder than average projects
in Chicago.
Before Redpoint, I worked at Alphablox, which built a library of components for visualizing data in
Essbase, and Microsoft Analysis Services cubes. This was my introduction to data warehousing and analytics
- which I have continued to take an interest in through experimental use of the Pentaho project and
more recent exposure to the Jasper product suite.
Some of my favorite moments involved teaching business users what their data showed them about their
business... Alphablox, which was a great product, was later purchased by IBM.
In summary, I have almost fifteen years of experience consulting, leading projects, and architecting
and building enterprise software solutions for clients and companies whose core businesses have included:
security, compliance, healthcare, financial services, communications, retail, manufacturing and logistics.
The key functions of these systems ranged from profit analytics to security to data warehousing to pricing
to remote monitoring of embedded devices.
