I'm highly motivated and well-disciplined working alone or as part of a team, or directing others within a team. Prefer a full or part-time position in the central Indiana area unless telecommuting, but contract work is a possibility. I can be relied upon to be extremely thorough in all respects, especially those that others commonly ignore or miss, such as documentation, analysis, and performance tuning; careful planning and accountability are matters of habit.
