 Joe's Annotated Resume
 
"Can't be the king of the world if you're slave to the grind" 
Skid Row, Slave to the Grind 
 
Personal notes:
Here's a very dynamic resume, I fill out a little more when I get time; and I'm still remembering things from a long time back that may be interesting (but most of which is worthless data anyway.)  The message I hope to convey is that I enjoy solving interesting problems, working with a team, and being motivated to step up and get the job done.  Yes, there are no dates;  just assume all this happened within the last 15 years.  What is more important than when.
