What I Do

Resource Manager

Over 20 years experience building, managing, and motivating effective, highly capable design and development teams. I have extensive experience managing geographically and culturally diverse teams both in-person and remotely.

Strategic Focus

One of my strengths is the ability to think strategically and act tactically. I spend a lot of effort on analysis and learning; becoming deeply familiar a vast array of disciplines. From this I develop a vision then set out to identify the resources required to fulfill that vision. I act decisively and am not afraid to take calculated risks. I always consider the organizational purpose and keep that foremost in my planning.

Technical Leadership

Through assertive focus on the strengths available from staff, peers, management, and customers I seek to build a work culture of mutual trust. I am open to new ideas and value what diversity brings to a problem. I have strong analytical skills, excellent work ethic, and pursue excellence in the model that I present to my staff. I focus on results and allow for failure as an invaluable learning tool without ruling over every detail. I am quick to communicate honestly, effectively, and concisely. The success of the team is most important to me. I appreciate and recognize good work and high value.

Application Development

My application development experience goes back decades. I started my professional career developing small utilities and reporting and analysis applications. Since, my career has taken me through many languages, libraries, and frameworks. I have a passion for designing and building innovative solutions in the pursuit of excellence in the products of my effort.

Testimonials

Doug has a keen sensibility about him and knows how to maximize the abilities of his team. He leads with solid direction and knows how to encourage those that work for him to be unafraid to make mistakes and how to be independent enough in what they do so that each minute is not spent asking 'Doug, is this ok?'. He sets expectations and will praise you for achieving them or take time to discuss the shortfall if you do not. He is a great mentor and sees everyone for what they have within them to become.

Personality Type

I find that understanding someone's personality type is very helpful in knowing how to approach and interact with them. I have actually worked in places where we would do this as a team with fantastic results.

To give you a little more about me, I am sharing a quick overview of my personality type and what my particular style means.

Many systems exist; Myers-Briggs probably being the most famous, but my preference is DiSC profile. You can learn more at DiSC Profile.

The Di Style

Di styles tend to be results-oriented, vocal, and enthusiastic, influencing others through their charm and bold action.

Traits: dynamic, inquisitive, persuasive, rebellious, restless, entrepreneurial, results oriented, vocal, enthusiastic
Goals: quick action, new opportunities
Fears: loss of power or status, invisibility
Influences others by: charm, bold action
Overuses: impatience, egotism, manipulation
In conflict: addresses issues head-on; may say things they will regret
Could improve effectiveness through: patience, humility, consideration of others’ ideas
Leadership qualities: Di-style leaders are often pioneering, seeking to stretch boundaries, find opportunities, and achieve results.
