Cliff McCollum’s Summary
I love working at the interface between domains. At the moment, I am most interested in that strange place where business-processes and software-development meet. As a veteran software development manager, I find it particularly exciting when these two worlds come together and click. That's when the magic happens.
I have over 15 years of professional experience as a System Architect, Software Engineer and Software Development Manager. I currently work as the Director of Software Development for Genologics, the leading developer of software to support life sciences research.
I have personal experience designing, writing, and managing dozens of large and small software projects, including more than eight years experience directly involved in creating large distributed-computing systems for the Telecommunications industry.
I am a passionate person who cares about technology. My particular areas of focus include: agile software development, software design, engineering process improvement, human interface design, and intelligent integration of business strategy with engineering.
