About Tim Burns and OwlMountain.com

OwlMountain Consulting, LLC is a software consulting company I established in 2001.  It produced software products for several years in the area of integrating security components via Active Directory and LDAP.  I have since joined Retail Solutions, Inc. and worked as a developer, a technical lead and a manager.

My accomplishments include:

• Principal developer for BI reporting UI that supported the growth of that company from 2 to a 30 million dollar company
• Managing a team of engineers locally and in China to for a customer support and BI website in Sharepoint with C# and aspx
• Founding and running a successful business – a fencing club

Contact me if you want to learn fencing.  I’ll set up you taking lessons at my fencing club.

Contact me about if you have a specific problem you are working to solve.  I will do my best to help you!  I specialize in

• Agile Project Management
• Integrating SSO security with Sharepoint
• Microsoft Application Services as a BI Platform
• Integrating Java applications with Microsoft

Contact me if you love computers and are looking for a mentor to help you out.  I’m always looking for sharp developers and good friends.

Please do not contact me about contract programming positions.  I hire programmers, but I’m not a recruiter.  I’ll be happy to put you in touch with some of the recruiter I use as a manager if you’re looking for people.
