Consultancy. Think of me as affordable executive level temporary talent. Hand off your most troubling project. This page provides a fairly up to date set of links to projects I am working on, or have worked on lately. I am a generalist. My Resume shows that I am an expert in many fields and walk comfortably through the walls that separate many traditional knowledge guilds.
