Daniel O'Connor’s Summary

Web & Application developer, Database administrator, and technical analyst for large business applications; primarily for banking/mortgage purposes (see all of the details - http://clockwerx.blogspot.com/2008/06/making-papers-again.html).

I've been helping provide project direction and velocity for quite some time at my current workplace, and have been involving myself in areas not traditionally associated with programmers - for instance, I'm currently an advocate for change in my company's HR formed working group, which addresses communication and morale problems.

My goals at the moment include finding a happy niche between stress and fun, and expanding into new areas.

I'm very interested in the possibilities of the web to change traditional business - be it marketing, be it communication with a customer base, or removing inefficiencies in processes.
