Technical and Creative Direction
Strategy, Design, Development, Deployment, Maintenance
Administration and Analysis
Since 2004 I have supervised the growth of cso.org and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's web systems and applications. With a growing in-house team of producers, developers, designers, administrators, and a trusted core of established technology partners, I have helped to create sophisticated ecommerce solutions and strategies that continue to position the CSO as a leader in digital media.
I have worked with both enterprise and open source environments, as well as many custom solutions and platforms, but specialize professionally in Microsoft solutions and .NET management. In general I have found that the simplest tool to achieve any given objective is usually the best one to use.
I have an academic history in Physics, Design, Math, and IT, and have acquired various technical certifications over my 20+ year career. I believe that exposure to a wide range of industries and disciplines is vital to support the creative thinking and rapid adaptation necessary in all layers of contemporary web application development.
