Sherief A.

My foundation is as a developer, in multiple languages, on many platforms. I deliver high quality, clean, working code, quickly and correctly. I'm comfortable with structured code, databases, OO programming, and "specialty" languages such as might be found in workflow or business rules systems. My favorite function, is Android development, API design and development, I have every confidence that to the extent the position requires actual coding, I can sling code with the best. To the extent that the position requires analysis of business rules and processes, I have specific experience in two main areas that are closely related. On the analysis side, I was the Product Manager for several ERP systems. In that capacity I was responsible for extracting functional requirements from end users, customers, marketing, etc., and translating those requirements into detailed requirements. On the business rules side, as the Product Architect for a suite of enterprise systems I led the requirements definition and vendor and partner review for a collaboration system that included a business rules engine component. While I was not involved as a developer in these systems, I am quite familiar with this class of products and the salient features that define their value. On a more general level, I believe I bring the broad "soft" skills you can have confidence in with a candidate that will represent the company to your customers. I trust you would find me to be well-spoken, energetic, confident, and personable, the type of person on whom your customers will rely. I also have a wide breadth of experience of the type that gives you the versatility to place me in a number of contexts with confidence that the level of excellence you expect will be met. In most situations technical decisions must be made within the context of larger business constraints. Throughout my career I have strived to keep business issues in the forefront, be it as a developer implementing a test framework to capture defects as early as possible, or as the Product Manager for an enterprise system, allocating resources and prioritising enhancements to meet strategic objectives. Focusing on business imperatives is a core value of mine, one that I bring to every project on which I work. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to review my credentials and experience. I hope that you'll find my experience, interests, and character intriguing enough to warrant a face-to-face meeting, as I am confident that I could provide value to you and your customers as a member of your team.
