Lance is responsible for managing the solutions practice for Harvey Nash in the Western US. This includes working with clients to understand their technology needs and then working with the technical delivery team in Vietnam and with the customer in crafting a technology solution that best meets those needs.

As the Interim Director of Architecture at Coinstar, Lance was responsible for leading the redesign effort for their kiosk platform in the engineering department. This project was a joint effort between the product management, creative, and (IT) engineering organizations within Coinstar. As a part of this effort, Coinstar asked that Lance work with their engineering organization to re-evaluate and re-architect the technology and application architecture of the kiosk platform in order to provide better time-to-market for enhancements and new functionality so that IT could better meet the objectives of the business.

Lead Software Developer

July 2009 - June 2010

Thales is an Aerospace, Defense, Security, and Transportation company based in France, but doing significant business within the US. I specifically worked within the Rail and Signaling division on a “free flow tolling” solution and was responsible for working with executive management at Thales, our business partner, and the project team to develop the system architecture, product (technical) roadmap, and product technical architecture. I also developed the initial software architecture and worked closely with the project manager to develop the initial project plans and coordinate and hire the initial delivery team (both development and QA) as well as overseeing the development efforts. As the lead developer, I did not have direct management responsibilities for the team, but served primarily as the technical visionary for the team and the project.

I worked closely with the product manager and one additional team member to build the initial team and the infrastructure to support this team while also working on building the initial technology architecture, road map, and with the project manager, the initial implementation plan.
