I learned so much in my six months as a Pivotal Labs client that I have to include it here. Concepts like agile, MVP and pair programming were new to me when I arrived but practices I've carried with me through my career and have incorporated into my own consulting approach.

Architected and built J2EE apps for Fortune 500 banks and insurance companies. At a time where most development was moving offshore, I was fortunate enough to be part of a special division that still did custom software development on a big scale. It was here that I first learned that I enjoyed consulting and helping people improve their processes and technology.
