I drive change. In the computing industry, I helped accelerate the adoption of disruptive computing platforms―including object-oriented application frameworks in the 1980's, Windows in the 1990's, .NET in the 2000's, and cloud computing in the 2010's―thereby adding millions of dollars to these platforms' vendors' bottom lines and accelerating the advancement of the state of the art.
