About API

When the Active Network consolidated operations in California, I was offered an incentive package to relocate. However, I decided to remained in Colorado to complete my dissertation.

While completing my dissertation, I started an independent consulting practice. While many IT workers were struggling through the dot-com bust, I was pleased to find that my consulting practice continued to flourish throughout the downturn.

Absolute Performance was my primary client in a relationship that lasted two years, after which I discontinued my consulting practice to prepare for my dissertation defense.

Absolute Performance provides systems monitoring and management software and services for enterprise scale IT deployments. My work at API entailed software architecture and engineering to create sophisticated notification and escalation systems as well as ad-hoc performance monitoring and optimization tools.
