I finished up at Boehringer-Ingelheim in Danbury a few weeks ago. BI is truly a great place to work (excellent work environment ie. high-end laptop, nice cubicle; management with integrity; world class technical team; etc.). I learned a lot about plant maintenance and increased my knowledge of abap including a bit of workflow. On a personal note my parents lived near by, so it was wonderful to spend quite a bit of time with them.

Currently, I am working on a 'phase 2' of an implementation for Lockheed Martin in Owego, NY. The first project is a highly complex CO/PS/DMS enhancement which is really interesting. This assignment is semi-local for me as it's about a 2 hour drive from home, though I will be working in other LM locations from time to time (this week I'm in Rockville, MD). One frustration with LM is that they block gmail - so any replies from me will be in the evening.

In other exciting news a local university has asked me to teach a course in ABAP. It's a daunting task, yet there are so many benefits. I look forward to the challenge.

Enjoy the upcoming holidays! All the best.

I finished up at Johnson & Johnson last month. I increased my knowledge of FICO and learned the principles of working in a validated pharmaceutical environment. It was a great experience working for a top notch corporation. However, it did take a while to get used to driving in NJ (no left turns and all gas stations are full service).

Now I am working on a plant maintenance implementation for another pharmaceutical company, Boehringer-Ingelheim, in Danbury, CT. I should be able to work on interfaces involving IDOCS and XI. A side benefit of this project is that the location is only 1 hour away from my parents house, so I'll be able to spend some time with them.

All the best. Stay in touch! (please share a personal email address so that we don't lose contact)

I rolled off of the Lifetime Brands project last month. I strengthened my knowledge of MM, FI, SD, and smartforms including learning some nifty tricks from the lead developer. A nice side benefit of working there was receiving samples of their products. I'll never need another ice cream scoop again. The team is very competent and I wish them the best of luck with future projects.

Now I am working on a multifaceted project in Bridgewater, NJ for Johnson & Johnson. It is looking like an intense FICO job and I am up for the challenge. Unfortunately I do not think I'll be getting any shampoo samples on this gig (or what ever else J&J makes).

All the best.
