I am a self-employed database designer (MS Access), with last quarter earnings (outside of Guru) of about $10000. I also work part-time as a research analyst at a post-secondary institution, and have experience in teaching and engineering as well.I have a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (with a focus on digital design) and a Bachelor of Education in Mathematics and Spanish. I have worked in overseas and cross-cultural environments in Mexico, Denmark, and Spain. My database work began as a hobby - I love the work, and especially enjoy being able to work with data, on user interface and on business analysis all at the same time. I believe in the importance of designing applications that are pleasing to the eye and help smooth out existing work processes. I work hand-in-hand with my clients during the design and beta-testing phases so that the final product is a good fit with the organization.
