Includes, but not limited to: Agile development, BEA (WebLogic, AquaLogic), C/C++, C#, ColdFusion, CORBA, CSCI Lead, CSS, design patterns, DHTML, DOORS, Dreamweaver, extreme programming, IBM Rational ClearCase & ClearQuest, Java/J2EE, Javascript, Linux, mentoring, Microsoft (.NET, AJAX, ASP, C#, LINQ, Office suite, SharePoint, SQL Server, T-SQL, VB, Visual SourceSafe, Visual Studio), ontologies, Object Oriented Analysis & Design, Open Source tools, Oracle (incl.

I believe that most software products are derived from a fundamental set of principles. Once one is versed in those fundamentals - as I am - expediently becoming proficient in a new tool is merely a matter of learning the specifics of that tool. I have very successfully accomplished this several times during my career.
