I started working for CrossCurrent in 2004 as Project Manager and jack-of-all-trades. CrossCurrent is a small healthcare software startup in Portland, Oregon. I basically handled anything pre- and post-development, like technical support and product planning. As the organization has grown to over 20 individuals, I now am more focused on working directly with orthopedic, spinal, and neurosurgeons to design and shape the development of the INCISIVE surgical planning and coding software product. We're using agile techniques and slowly converging on using Scrum as our project planning discipline.
Prior to CrossCurrent, I spent 7 years with GE Healthcare Technologies (former Medicalogic) as a Lead Program Integrator (fancy title for a project manager in a global conglomerate). At GE, I also held positions in the technical support and integration consulting before becoming a Lead Program Integrator. While at GE and being in the Oregon Air National Guard, I completed a Master in Science & Technology degree from Oregon Health and Sciences University. I spent the first ten years of my career in the Air Force as a logistics planner and administrative officer and recently retired as a Major in the Oregon Air National Guard. In between the Air Force and GE, I spent a couple of years working for a body shop as a software engineer, mostly working at Intel.
My personal interests are now gelling around Agile and Six Sigma. I've held a Certified Quality Manager certficate in the past and at GE got Six Sigma training. The whole Six Sigma thing petered out for software while I was at GE. I'd like my next job to be as Black Belt in a software company.
