Location: San Francisco, California, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/theocummings

Lately I am interested in working with small teams to produce first rate products.  Focusing on improving core skills like communication and collaboration while rounding out my skill set by diving deeper into web development.  Switching gears from Windows platform development to open source has made a huge difference in my focus and improved my ability to contribute to large scale software efforts.  

Previously I worked in Healthcare on all aspects of a first in class enterprise diagnostic imaging archive system.   Servicing customers like the Department of Defense, MD Anderson,  and the Royal Dutch government.
