ABOUT KEITH V.

Hello!Let\'s get the technical stuff out of the way first.For the last four decades, I have worked as an application architect, project manager, and software engineer across diverse freight, logistics, banking, and retail e-commerce applications.At the moment, I’m excited to share that my technical skills include JAVA 17/21, Spring Boot, IntelliJ, Maven/Gradle, RESTful services, micro services, UML, CSS, SQL, GitLab, web services, and cloud implementations with AWS. I\'ve also worked with Salesforce, World Pay, FiServ, OOA/OOD, use cases, specification documents, dev ops, and various project methodologies like RUP and Agile. It’s a diverse and enriching set of tools that I truly enjoy working with!I\'m always interested in new technologies and close personal interaction with business sponsors and team members. I enjoy helping folks uncover options and new ideas and, in turn, learn from them as well.Now for some fun stuff.I write orchestral music, read, cook (I\'m a foodie), bake, enjoy sailing, and play World of Warcraft. Recently, writing music has become almost obsessive when I make several uninterrupted hours for myself.A local illusionist uses my music as an underscore for his unconventional shows at the Seattle Death Museum. Lovecraft\'s short story At the Mountain of Madness inspired a five-movement orchestral suite I completed in 2015. Local orchestras have played a few of my works, and I even had an out-of-state first-place award for my piece, Passacaglia, in 2013. My first piano concerto, Seventh Second, was completed in 2018.I love travelling. Recently I have visited Egypt, Spain, and England. There are so many wonderful places to see, cultures to enjoy, and food to try. I can hardly wait to travel more.I hope we get to meet sometime. Cheers, Keith
