I have also managed, created, and implemented custom hardware and software solutions through all phases of the development life cycle. I am constantly updating and expanding my knowledgebase by researching and experimenting with emerging technologies and documented industry best practices.

I enjoy empowering my clients and end-users by educating them on the appropriate way to leverage technology to solve problems or improve their experiences. I am known for my ability to work with clients and end-users to investigate solutions including solution scaling, cost/benefit analysis and education on current trends in the IT market which assure their solution will not only meet their needs today but in the future.

My clients enjoy the flexibility of using my consulting services in lieu of employing a full time staff member. I provide multi-platform hardware and network infrastructure support, software, anti-virus, and spyware services, as well as software and hardware education services.

Programmer

During my undergraduate studies I developed a solid understanding of C/C++, Perl, Visual basic and MySQL. However, the PHP and Java programming languages have been the medium for my most exemplary work to date. With the proliferation of the mobile and tablet markets I have begun to embrace both Android and IOS. I have several apps progressing through development and testing cycles. I've also recently begun to work with Google app development tools as development in this realm has begun an upward trend.

My love of complex problem solving and drive to understand, manipulate and improve upon technology and its applications stems from a deep rooted curiosity that was cultivated throughout my entire life. I believe that success requires teamwork, and that even in your personal life it is difficult to be successful without the right network of family, friends and professional contacts.
