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.
