Highlights

I wrote my first CMS in 1993, and have since implemented over 20 custom systems. One such system was for Discovery Channel School, where teachers entered curriculum for use with Discovery Channel programs, which we turned into web pages. Since then, I have done builds and customizations in over a dozen different out-of-the-box CMS and e-commerce systems.

I've integrated with information sent from airplanes, various APIs including financial data sites, PayPal and Authorize.Net, RSS feeds, XML feeds, enom.com, constantcontact.com, and icontact.com - you name it, I love it. :) I also really enjoy debugging, especially when multiple technologies are involved. That includes every layer from the hosting environment, through the server and application code, through the data, right down to the design layer. Since data can often cause problems, it's a particular fun spot for me to find and correct issues with data, where possible. If not, we can do something more graceful than give an error.

The most important thing to me is that everyone be successful in their ventures. Finding and Understanding simplicity in a project, and making sure that goals are clearly understood is essential. I work very will with both techies and administrators. I enjoy long term client relationships, many for over a decade, where the focus is on empowering the client, rather than racking up hours.

I am ENFJ in the Myers-Briggs System:

Work Terms

All work is hourly, and all work is guaranteed. I will let you know well in advance if the job cannot be done in the expected time frame.
For jobs over $1,000, a retainer of 33% is generally required. Following that, invoices will be generated weekly, or at project completion (once the work is live). 50% of the retainer will be applied to the first invoice(s), the other 50% at the end of the job. This is negotiable for companies that I've worked with in the past.
