Globus Medical, a spine implant manufacturer has a product line of more than 100 spine products including minimally invasive and those supporting scoliosis.

I have years of experience as a software developer and lead, contributing to the success of organizations from Fortune 500 companies to a startup trying to make senior care manageable for the care givers. Recently, I have secured a joint venture in developing video games in the mobile phone space, including iOS and Android platforms.Over my career, I developed a full stack web based solution for field technicians reducing overall customer service call volume by 32%, software features for medical devices which reduced radiation exposure to the patient by a third, performance solutions which solved enterprise scaling problems for a distributed media system by an order of magnitude, as well as leading a team to meet important milestones for seed funding. Other projects include developing a machine learning algorithm utilizing vision hardware for a mobile robot and a prototype build of a top down adventure video game set in a dystopian future. I recently finished my first published book, Mastering LibGDX Game Development, which includes a finished 2D RPG game, BludBourne, that I developed specifically for the book. I have a proven track record of solving complex and difficult software problems, utilizing my business and legal acumen, and delivering results that save on costs and secure seed funding. I look forward to the next adventure.Languages: Primarily develop in Java and C++; Working knowledge of C#, Lua, Objective-C and Python; Experience with HTML, JavaScript, PHP, CSS, JSON and XMLPlatforms: Windows Vista/7, Mac OS X, Linux (Redhat, Ubuntu, Lubuntu, Debian), SolarisEnvironments: Microsoft Visual Studio, Clearcase, Accurev, Git and Perforce on Windows; Xcode and Git on Mac OS X; GNU C/C++ compiler, Make, Gradle, Maven, and Ant on UNIX/LINUX platforms; Netbeans, Android Studio, IntelliJ IDEA and Eclipse IDEs for JavaDatabases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MS SQL Server, Oracle 9iLibraries: LibGDX, Cocos2DX, Qt, STL, OpenGL
