Work Terms

I prefer to work remotely, employing extensive project management tools to ensure that team members, managers, and clients all stay in the loop and on track. Milestones, task lists, and collaborative whiteboards are all a part of this process and lead to more efficient builds.
My preferred clients are small businesses with interesting ideas that need guidance and development, to which I add my technological expertise, a little imagination, and plenty of hard work.
