Shirley is a rare gem in the technology industry; she can handle a dizzying array of projects at once spanning many teams and customers, and still maintain a keen attention to detail that turns customers' heads.

A veteran DBA with extensive Oracle, DB2 and SQL Server experience on a wide variety of platforms, from Windows NT to MVS and many flavors of UNIX, Shirley is far from one dimensional — she is also a finely-skilled Systems Administrator, responsible for installing, configuring and the maintenance of web, messaging, and directory services, and a Software Developer, with experience writing business applications for mainframes and the web — true flexibility.

Shirley is often thrust into emergency situations, where existing customer systems have failed or are limping along due to system management failures, or poor design. She excels at busting through these problems and getting systems back up and running at top speed, quickly. Her experience dealing with every phase of the system and database lifecycle makes her an excellent fit for these critical situations.
