Jim combines hands-on coding with project leadership, having managed major migrations (MSSQL to PostgreSQL), coordinated cross-vendor integrations, and led defect-remediation efforts that cleared substantial backlogs. His background spans full SDLC ownership from requirements and integration to 2AM production troubleshooting, and he pairs technical depth with an MBA perspective for pragmatic, business-aligned solutions.
