Summary

If you are seeking an IT professional/webmaster who can work independently and can analyze complex problems and achieve viable solutions, my experience in design, implementation and maintenance will prove invaluable. I can work alone with little to no supervision as well as in a team environment. I also have the project management skills to farm complex tasks out to third party vendors both in the United States as well as off-shore. Please see my website: www.serasoftinc.com for my portfolio.
