The lists below may seem sparse. This is deliberate. I could give you a laundry lists of every programming language, software package, operating system, and technology buzzword that I have ever worked with. I won't subject you to that. I will just tell you my greatest strength:

I find solutions.

I am never happier than when someone comes to me and says, "We can't figure this out." or, "This has never been done before." I will methodically approach any challenge. I will conduct extensive research. I will learn whatever skills are necessary, and I will persistently apply creative solutions until the problem is solved.

I have been programming since 1982. I was on the internet in 1986. I like to read about advanced programming in my spare time. The languages, programs and skills below are not things I have heard of, or took a class in years ago. They are the tools I use everyday, but more importantly I have years of experience learning how to use my tools correctly and efficiently. It is this experience that will allow me to find solutions to your challenges.

  • Object oriented programming (OOP)
  • Working with APIs
  • Creating normalized relational databases
  • Writing and testing for security, standards and accessibility compliance
