Summary

Software developer with over 22 years experience in Windows and DHTML based applications. Grew up at the library learning about computers. Experienced with enterprise deployment and support. I'm comfortable designing the product from scratch or working with a team. Have a background in many of aspects of IT support whether internal or things pertinent to clients. Strengths include customer-facing skills, solid problem solving abilities, and ability to delve outside of comfort zone to maintain harmony in the work environment. Will never say it isn't in the job description when an issue needs to be addressed.

In my mind I did it all before but want to do it all again but even better.
