SUMMARY
OF EXPERTISE
Twenty years experience in Information Technology. Masters Degree in Computer

documentation tools, web languages, and web design. Extensive experience in
problem solving; willingness to work on a problem until it is resolved.

ON-THE-RECORD Officially, I really like Coldfusion because it was designed to be a server-side web
language and you can do more in less time. I’m a fanatic of everything to do with
software development. You name it and I love it. Front-end. Yep! Backend. Yep!
Design, troubleshooting issues, documentation and even maintaining or revitalizing
old code. I look at each day as an adventure to change the world... with code.
