Communicating with and evangelizing business users. Because I ask the questions, write the code, and support reporting nothing is ever lost in translation and everyone learns quickly that they can trust me. Getting projects done right and done FAST by picking the right-sized tool, asking the right questions, and writing/testing the code efficiently. Teaching others how to use, maintain, and improve what I built, so that you can fire me. Consultants are meant to work themselves out of a job. This is my goal. Seeing my work as personal. My livelihood depends on your success.
