Mr. Taramina has a long track record of creating, motivating and leading hyper-productive development teams in startup/new-venture environments. By way of example, the last team that he built and lead (as a CTO and Chief Architect) developed a half a million lines of quality production software in less than a year with only 3.5 man-years of developer time invested. Andrzej is a popular speaker at industry conferences (JavaOne, RubiCon, AMI-C and others), and has been instrumental in closing a number of startup and new-venture deals from a business deal perspective. Recently, he was pivotal in landing $25M+ international Financial Services eCommerce joint-venture partnership, helped close a $10M+ middleware software partnership & distribution agreement and was instrumental in profitable sale ($35M+) of domestic eBusiness assets, operations and smooth transfer of staff. I have been a commissioned technology sales representative (setting company sales records) and my presentation skills are superb.On the technology side, Andrzej designed/developed an open source GPS Access library that runs unchanged on any platform that supports Java (it runs unchanged on Macs, PC's, PDA's and even Embedded Java-on-a-chip hardware such as the aJile products) and is also XML-enabled. Recently Mr. Taramina designed and released a GPS Markup Language (GPSml XML and XMLSchema) for GPS-generated data that will provide an industry-standard way of communicating position-related information between disparate systems. Furthermore, Andrzej collaborated with a number of hardware vendors on a GPS demonstration for JavaOne this year, that includes remote-controlled vehicles (Radio Shack RC toy as a platform), Java on a chip hardware, GPS, robotic vision, and wireless connectivity to a back end Web Service running on a back end J2EE server. ] There is more information available on my GPS and XML initiatives at my corporate web site: http://www.chaeron.com
