About Tim Kiekhafer

I am an experienced Software Engineering Architect and Manager who has successfully led developers, engineers, architects, and cross-functional teams through the design, development, testing, and deployment of cloud-based mobile, IoT, desktop, and web-based applications for start-up organizations to enterprise companies. I have a broad understanding of a wide range of technologies with expertise in all phases of software development.I’m a trusted advisor to C-level Executives, cross-functional teams, and subordinates with a knack for translating complex technical jargon into terminology that non-technical leaders can relate to. During high school, I was fortunate to have had an amazing football coach who led our team to State Championship. Though we lost the championship, it was quite an accomplishment for a small-town team. He taught us to work hard and recognize that everyone on the team plays an important role. Those early lessons taught me to lead by inspiring a culture of team collaboration and innovation while creating a sense of shared purpose. I approach projects by first gaining a deep understanding of the business challenges before developing sustainable and reliable solutions in support of the company’s overall business strategies. Throughout my career, I’ve spearheaded complete rewrite and technology stack updates, led the development of Application Architectures, successfully delivered visual project management tools, led the development of aggressive Internet of Things suite of products, and designed and implemented design patterns patterns for cloud products. I’m seeking to join an organization that inspires team collaboration, promotes a sense of shared purpose, and values, and invests in its people.Technical proficiencies: Java, Groovy, Grails, Hibernate, Spring, JavaScript, Kotlin, NodeJS, Flex/Flash, HTML, CSS, XML, XSLT, C / C++, Objective-C, Rubymotion, UML, SaaS, Web Services (SOA), SOAP, WSDL, JAXB, Cloud, Kerberos, Smart Card, Ada, Python, Flask, Perl, PHP, SQL, Visual Basic, TCL, Apache, JRun, Tomcat, JBoss, WebLogic, WebSphere, UNIX, Linux, Solaris, iOS, iPad, Mac OS X, Android, Vagrant, Oracle, MySQL, MS SQL Server, Sybase, Db2, Access, H2, ANT, Maven, CVS, Subversion, Git, MS Visio, IntelliJ Idea, Eclipse, NetBeans, XCode, Visual Studio, Bugzilla, Docker, Python, Salesforce, Heroku, Amazon EC2, Meteor, Angular JS, Angular, React, Typescript, HTML5, Canvas, Jenkins, ServiceNow
