EXPERIENCE:
1997-2008 Independent Contractor, San Francisco, CA and Port Angeles, WA
In the past ten years I've completed hundreds of PHP, Java, JavaScript, Perl, HTML, and database projects large and small for my clients' Web sites. I work with these clients (located all over the world) to develop sophisticated, customized solutions for their Internet and Intranet sites. Usually, I don't create the graphics for these sites, I write the code that makes them interactive. My clients approach me for help with billing systems; membership systems; various contact, registration, and order forms; automated Email; etc.
I'm often called on to solve cross-browser JavaScript display issues.
1995 - 1999 EC Computer Services, San Francisco, CA
As a an in-house programmer for this small Internet company, my work involved converting BBS services to Web services on EC's own Solaris and WindowsNT servers. Here, I enhanced my abilities with C and became expert in various Internet technologies, Unix, and SQL databases. I worked with a team including other programmers and graphic designers and supervised the tech-support department. Since leaving EC to work for myself, I've continued to do projects for them as a consultant.

As lead programmer for this small, multimedia-software company, I managed the conversion of Level-3-Laserdisc courses to multimedia courses on CD-ROM.

As sole proprietor of my own consulting company specializing in educational software and game design, my clients included CBS Software, The Detroit Institute of Arts, Ford Motor Co., Chrysler Motor Co., and the Wayne State University Medical School.
HARDWARE and LANGUAGES:
I have developed on Unix, MS-DOS, Macintosh and Windows operating systems.
Because I began as an assembly language programmer, I have no difficulty learning any programming or authoring language and have used many professionally, including Assembler, BASIC, Hypertalk, Lingo, C, Java, JavaScript, Perl, ASP, PHP and HTML.
I also use Excel, Access, Mini-SQL, Mysql, and Sybase. I'm accustomed to working off-site using FTP and Telnet. I've had experience working with Apache, Netscape, and IIS servers.
