Highlights:Depth of knowledge, attention to detail, completeness...this is what you will get with my services.



I have been developing software for 19 years now.  I have had the great fortune to work on many different things and have proven my expertise through my successes.  Among them are:

- A microcontroller project that employed DSP operations on an analog sound input.

- A project that analyzed SCSI disk activity through Unix kernel querying.

- I held a key contracting position in the successful digital conversion of image records

  for a US federal government agency.



My knowledge in computing is very in-depth concerning the things I have previously worked with, and I am not afraid to try something new.  And the technologies I have worked with are many.
Work terms:In both our best interests, I will initially focus on gathering
requirements from you, the client, to determine what the scope of work
will be.  I will also try to be very frank and honest about what I will
require.  At that time, I am willing to give my full attention and

effort to the completion of that work.  My goal is to create something that is truly of value to you.



Payment method:

    Let's just go through the SafePay Escrow.  In fact, it appears that it is a violation of

    the terms of service to do otherwise.




Communication:

    I would prefer e-mail for the communication method.  I think maybe 3-4 times a week

    correspondence initially will be fine until requirements are gathered.  Then maybe 1-2

    times a week as questions come up.






General Availiability:

    I would prefer to work at night.  Early evening would be fine for any interactive

    communication, such as phone calls or chat.
