Business Analysis - Financial Systems - Portfolio Accounting

I am a business systems analyst in the Boston area working in financial services, most recently portfolio accounting with Advent® Geneva®. I have good analysis and design skills, write well, and can communicate with developers, customers, marketing people, and even senior VPs. Just an overall great guy.

Very detail-oriented, I turn high-level vision into real products and services, satisfying customer and business needs. My background is technical (computer science), I've been in financial services for 20 years, and I work in product management, engineering, marketing, or QA. I'm often useful as a bridge between the marketing, operations, and development groups, helping resolve sometimes differing requirements.

I've done extensive work with the Geneva portfolio accounting platform, especially reporting with Geneva RSL and Microsoft SSRS.

Originally from South Carolina, I've been in New England for years. See About Me / Personal for more.
