Thanks for visiting my web site. If you're here then you're probably looking for a senior developer to help out on a project that involves some heavy C/C++ with a substantial database component on the backend.

Working as the lead consultant on projects utilizing C/C++, Linux, and Oracle has pretty much been more whole life during the past 15+ years. The last several years I've been heavily involved in search engine technology. But here too, the same core skillset was the foundation for much of the development.

A Quick Technical Snapshot
There are several online resume pages available that provide much more detail but here's a very quick snapshot of my background:

  15+ Years Experience   Varied Client/Project Exposure
  Heavy C, C++ , and Perl   Linux, Unix, Solaris, AIX, HP/UX, Windows
  Oracle, MySQL, BerkeleyDB   Oracle Pro*C & OCI
  Oracle SQL, PL/SQL   HP9000, RS-6000, Sun Sparc, Sequent
  Visual C++, FORMS, Flash   TCP/IP Sockets
  HTML, Javascript, CSS   Oracle Performance Tuning
  Heavy Web Development   Custom Search Engine Technology

OnSite vs Remote
There was time when I was on travel pretty much 100% of the time. I can recall one particular year that I only saw my apartment for just 2 days during the entire year. Needless to say I was a super Marriott Platinum Club member. However, with the focus being on search engine technology it's been a given that clients are on the web so my travel has dramatically dropped off. I'm still open to travel but doing a project remotely is my preference.

Availability
My availability tends to vary but if you've got a project where you think I might be able to assist, certainly feel free to get in touch. The only request I have to please try to give me some decent detail about your project in your email. In meantime, you're welcome to browse the site. Hopefully, between the various pages you can get a better feel for what I could bring to the table for your project.
