Brian has been a Pick programmer for about 25 years. A native of Orange County in Southern California, he has worked for a large and varied user base from Southern California to New York to points in between. He did about a one-year stint in Phoenix, Arizona in 2009-2010, but he's now back in beautiful Southern California, specifically San Clemente. Brian is now very happily employed by TigerLogic Corporation (formerly Raining Data, formerly Pick Systems), working in the Support department as a QA programmer. Basically, he gets to spend his day writing software to test the various products and help the support personnel with issues as they occur. When asked if he ever planned to leave TigerLogic, he said something about "When Arizona freezes over..." Brian describes himself as about 90% programmer/analyst and 10% therapist. He is comfortable working side-by-side with business owners and/or their management, programming/IT staff, outside financial and other consultants, sales personnel and end users to design, develop, implement and support new applications and revamp or add to existing ones. Brian is particularly good at visualizing solutions to business problems and is adept at determining when a human solution may be more appropriate than a software solution. He's programmed systems operating on many varieties of multivalue databases from D3 to Advanced Pick to r83 to Pick-like systems from ADDS and C. Itoh. He's developed and maintained applications for just about every kind of business or industry that you can think of, and he brings that wealth of experience and perspective with him to TigerLogic. If you've got a Pick system in need of application development, re-development, maintenance or migration, give Brian a call. He's got some well-qualified friends who could use the work. |
