I am able to help My Client by attending or conducting Meetings as necessary between Department Heads and

different Division Managers to ensure Project(s) on Target and Schedule.



Keeping Specifications up-to-date. Documenting and streamlining Meetings by capturing key points held in those

meetings, and applying them to the Project, and to revised specifications.



Preventing the "endless meeting" by performing discovery and original research. Often meetings are entangled

due to Government regulations and special data requirements of Institutions, Vendors, Clients, and

Government. Quick studies and original research often can break up these problems into visionable milestones

which can then be accomplished on a schedule until being completed.



Telecommute and Live Meetings Around the USA to meet Project Goals.



Able to Communicate and Quickly Learn needs of Clients from Many Disciplines in Live Meetings.



Special Goal of Reducing Costs on large Projects without Borders (Programmers Geographically spread over the

Globe), by using code non obfuscating methods, code exposure methods, non-encapsulation methods for both

Vb.Net and SQL using ADODB / Other Data Methods, so all code in the Project is EXPOSED, for TOTAL REUSE

using cut and paste among all coding members in a Project(s).



Heavy focus on easy-to-read, easy-to-use easy-to-DEBUG (inline debugging), with all variables shown and

exposed for simplified debugging.



Enforcement of strict "ClassLESS" programming standards, except where absolutely required, and cutting down

on Event Driven programming wherever possible, so all source code is easier to follow and more logical, and

increasing code reuse by making all code visible.



Insisting that Subroutines and Functions BE SIMPLE-and never allow more then one method per function/sub.
