About fate_carver

IT BPM Consultant. I get called in after a security breach/PR incident and "attempt" to change the corporate culture that created or ignored the problem(s).

I am in my late 30's, started writing code at the age of 9, never stopped. I am currently focused on SharePoint Architecture and Consulting but am still training Developers as needed. I have written code in damn near every language from COBOL to jQuery, .NET to PHP/MySQL.

I have a strong business sense which I get to use everyday with my Fortune 500 clients (Morgan Stanley, Northrop Grumman, Nationwide, Lockheed Martin, etc.) while advising them on technology issues and getting their IT staff prepared for changes.

I also carve wood.
