BRIEF WORK HISTORY

I have been programming computer software and writing technical and user documentation for over twenty years. I have been developing intranet/extranet-based user interfaces on a professional level since the early 1990's with almost two hundred published sites to my credit. Though I started programming in Binary, BASIC, Pascal and Cobal on early mainframes, in the early 90's I began developing static HTML (pre 1.0) pages with true CGI scripts married to backend ansi C programs and Perl when it became available shortly theirafter on a UNIX platform. During the first quarter of 1995 I was chosen as a prerelease alpha tester for the Java programming language and also reviewed specs for XML from W3C. During the past 8 years I have specialiazed as a LAMP stack engineer (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) as well as keeping current with the latest web techonologies and libraries (AJAX, Web 2.0, various PHP-based CMS', social networking api's, SEO methods, etc.) as they have become available and am proficient in using them in my capacity as a User Interface/User Experience engineer. Additionally, I have received countless hours of training and hands on experience in the architectural and psychological aspects of engineering a gui that works effectively and efficiently for its client base. I have built back-end, middleware and gui's for everything from chat applications with avatars, security software, and reporting software to self-generating web sites, auto-publications and games.
