I am a free-lance programmer and web developer in Florence, Italy.  I am 
originally from California and am a mother-tongue English speaker. 
 
I am mainly a web application developer, capable of handling almost every 
aspect of the process, from graphic design, to front end interface design 
and implementation to back-end architecture design and implementation. 
 
Past experience includes: 
 
- Many years experience as project manager of high profile development 
projects funded by the European Union -- these projects all had to do 
with web technologies (mostly building portals and web applications) 
 
- Expert knowledge in PHP, Perl, Javascript, Java, C/C++ and a growing 
knowledge of Ruby.  Expert knowledge of MySQL and PostgreSQL database 
technologies. 
 
I am available for collaboration on software development, or to manage 
the development 
of a project or components on my own.
