Project Management, Analysis & Design, Development, Technical/Business Documentation, Quality Assurance & Testing.

My expertise is obviously in Visual Foxpro but I also have a wide exposure to other languages/platforms with varying degrees of experience. I m especially interested in web development opportunities, particularly if they involved Java. I m very organized and enjoy motivating/inspiring others around me toward excellence; I m equally comfortable working with technical people or with business people and I possess excellent organizational & communication skills.
