"My favorite part is creative problem solving. Whether it's simplifying a time consuming business task for employees, creating a framework for enforcing business rules at high-level, or a resolving a complex technical problem; I like to find solutions. My least favorite is the maintenance phase, as it is provides opportunities for problem-solving, but seldom of a creative nature. I dislike working where IT is viewed as an expense to the company rather than an competitive advantage."
