I am a senior level programmer/analyst with over 25 years experience designing and developing custom business systems, especially those backed by databases, using both desktop and web platforms and both .Net and Java based technologies.

My strongest asset is the ability to formulate timely technological solutions to problems given a set of criteria - be it acquisition and implementation of hardware or software, development of new systems or modification of old. In short, I get the job done.
