What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to leverage my extensive experience in software development while providing opportunities for growth and learning in new technologies.

I am an experienced IT professional with 24 years in software development, specializing in Lotus Notes and XPages. My journey began in April 2001 with Lotus Notes development, and I became CLP Certified during my time at IBM. Since 2010, I have focused on XPages development, refurbishing applications and optimizing enterprise solutions.

Currently, I work as a Programmer Analyst at Maarga Systems Inc., where I lead the modernization of legacy applications for the Colorado Legislative Assembly. My role involves developing web-based solutions and optimizing performance through advanced data handling techniques. I am adept at debugging and troubleshooting complex issues, and I am always eager to learn new technologies to enhance my skill set.
