Welcome
I have been a professional developer for more than four decades, and over that time, there have been fantastic successes, even more amazing defeats, and through it all I believe I've learned a few things about the art and craft of building systems. This site is about some of the work I've done, many of the stories and lessons I've learned, and I hope it will give you a better idea of who I am.
Background
The purpose of this site is to give you an idea of who I am and a home for the things I'm involved in. Sometimes, recruiters are looking for a resume, and if you're looking for a traditional resume then try the link in the sidebar, or this. It doesn't contain any of the of the depth of this site, but for those folks that have to put something in a manilla folder, there it is. There's also a PDF version, and a Word version.
I've found that a recent trend in senior technical recruiting is to have a project-focused resume and in keeping with that trend this includes many projects that aren't covered in the traditional version which show more depth to my experience and skill set. Once again, there is a PDF version, and a Word version.
Contacting me
It's easy to just send me an email. Things can get pretty hectic at times, but answering my email is something I do within 24 hours - without fail. It may be 4:00 am when I get around to it, but I'll get there.
Artistic Credit
In the early days of the web, artistic skills weren't as important as they are now, and thanks to the generous souls at Open Designs I was able to augment my limited skills by picking up this wonderful template and give my site a much needed artistic boost.
