Personal & Professional Profile

I am a programmer/analyst with over 24 years of experience. My skills include full life-cycle development: requirements gathering, change management, design, coding, unit and integration testing, deployment, documentation, and user training.

I thrive in environments where I can learn new things and leverage my extensive background to deliver quality, results-oriented solutions for my employers/clients.

I am currently developing smartphone/tablet apps with JavaScript, CSS 3, HTML 5, jQuery Mobile, and Phonegap.

I have also created a website for a local powder coating company: Streetwerkz
