improvement.
Experience
Owner,
Programmer
- September 1996 - present
Zugg
Software, Colorado Springs, CO
Developed zMUD: a
MUD client for PC/Windows (WinSock) using Delphi. A
model of Very-Rapid Application Development across the
Internet with strong customer involvement. Has become the
standard client by which all others are measured.
Formed the company Zugg Software to distribute zMUD and
develop other Internet software.

Group of 100 computer support professionals. Also
acted as Chief Technology Officer for desktop technology,
and led the Office Automation project utilizing Lotus
Notes.

Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM
Managed a heterogenous network of several hundred
systems including: VAX/VMS, Ultrix, SunOS, HP-UX, PC (DOS
and Windows), Macintosh. Specialized in data acquisition
systems, and member of the Data Analysis
Center support staff,
responsible for a cluster of Digital mainframes.
Postdoctoral Fellow, Astrophysics
- October 1987- June 1990
Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM
Research in ultra-high-energy gamma-ray astrophysics
as part of the CYGNUS collaboration.

Principles and Values
Honor,
Integrity, Enthusiasm
If people are happy with what
they are doing, they will excel, and customer satisfaction will
go through the roof.
Focus on what your customer
wants, not what you can deliver.
The most effective strategy is that of Very-Rapid Application
Development. Using the Internet as a distribution mechanism, and
means for collecting customer feedback, produce a product
quickly, with very short turnaround of new versions and updates.
Allow the customer to drive features and product direction as the
application develops through an integrated feedback mechanism.
Desktop Group Leader
Accepted a leadership position after a
major Laboratory reorganization brought the various pieces of
desktop computer support into a new group within the Computing,
Information, and Communications (CIC) Division. Developed the
vision and strategy of the group in collaboration with group
members. Flattened the management structure and shifted towards a
self-directed work team model, becoming the showcase for the
Division. Embarked on desktop technology development in the areas
of groupware, hypermedia, computer security, electronic software
distribution, and remote system management for the Laboratory.
Developed and managed an $8M annual budget, supported and
mentored a staff of 80-100 system administrators, and
participated actively in the CIC Division leadership team.
LANL Webmaster
Designed and developed the central
Laboratory Gopher server. Evolved this service into the central
LANL Web service. Developed software to integrate the Web and Gopher
services. Developed the Laboratory searchable phone book system using PERL. Formed the
Laboratory Internet Information Services User Group and educated
users across the Laboratory on Internet and Web technology.
