About Me...

A long time ago, in a not-too-far-away place, I was a software engineer, coding in Fortran. I spent a number of years learning how to design databases, design software, and meet the customers needs. I love to create, to design, to organize, and to write code to make things happen. That is what I am doing now, just using HTML, javascript, php... instead of Fortran.

As a software engineer, I did the whole soup-to-nuts: determined functionality with the customer, designed "screens" or MMI (man-machine-interface, in those days!), designed and wrote all the software, tested (yes! I tested my code, too!) and delivered software packages. I taught engineers how to maintain my code once it was delivered to them. That meant I always delivered fully tested, maintainable software. That translates into full tested, maintainable websites for you today!

I speak both languages -- English and techno-ese. I can understand your needs, speak to you about the functionality you require, the design you want, without getting you lost in the details of how I'll actually make this happen. I enjoy the process of organizing and working with you to figure out how to set up your site.

And, I really love the technical side - just give me a computer and our plan, and I will make it happen. I'll create a functional site, with a clean design,and one that works on most modern browsers. None of this "Best if viewed with IE" on my sites! I will create the website that you want, with the functionality you need, and continue to be here to support the website, maintain the content, and make upgrades when you are ready.
