Services Offered

I can provide value for you and your organization. I have a flexible pricing scale, both hourly and project / milestone oriented, based on scope of work, timeframe for completion, and any special skills necessary to fulfill your needs. Work will be completed remotely and typically outside of normal working hours, so remote network access is a must. The services I offer are:

• Custom Application Modification and Creation
• Code Analysis and Refactoring
• Data Conversion
• System Administration and Troubleshooting
• CGI / HTML / CSS / JavaScript / jQuery Design

I stand behind my work and my services can be covered by NDA.

Due to other obligations, I am only able to take on small contracts (~5 hours a week).

Community

I have been a member of Association for Computing Machinery since 1992, been involved with the Perl Monks community for many years. I have been serving as a School Board member at my Church from 2005-2011, as Chair from 2006-2010.
