Welcome to Rushmada

What Rushmada is?

I created Rushmada to allow me to use my 20 years of experience to help companies of all sizes from my own company. Rushmada is not a staffing agency. Currently Rushmada is just me, Stephen Rushton. I am an independent contractor.

My whole career, I have been thrown into situations where I have had to learn new technologies and business on the fly while in the middle of deadlines. I have worked in small, medium, and large companies in my career, and I understand the different dynamics each of those entail.

I am a jack of all trades. Some may say that makes me a master of none, but in technology, if you are not constantly learning new things, then you will be stuck in your technology where you are a master, but the world has left you behind.

I deliver. I fight hard to manage scope and focus what is truly needed. Whether this is the MVP (Minimum Viable Product) or working with business stakeholders to priority which features actually have the best return on investment.

What Rushmada is NOT?

I am not an Solutions or Enterprise Architect. I am a Technical Architect. What is the difference? A Solutions or Enterprise Architect typically chooses different Commercial Enterprise Solutions and designs high level how they will interact, but does not typically do any hands on coding or configuration to make this happen. I like to get my hands dirty. I do not what to just go to meetings and generate documents and presentations.

I am not a Web Designer. I am very interested in designing Web Application and the usability of the application. I am not the person to make you web page beautiful.

I am not Management. I have had different management roles in my career, but this is not where my passion is. However I do like mentoring and leading people, but I hate the day to day administrative responsibilities that typically come with being an manager.

I am not a Project Manager. I have done project man in my career, but this is not where my passion is.
