Summary

My Information Technology career spans the last 29 years and although the majority of that time was spent developing micro-computer business application software, I\'ve also designed business systems architecture, performed business application systems analysis as well as designing business application systems performing in all their life-cycle rolls, and developed for both stand-alone desktop applications for medium to small companies and enterprise-level client-server/wide area network systems for large concerns, including design and data flow charting, management and user systems requirements gathering, implementation, all documentation authoring, user training and systems’ support. In addition I\'ve built computers, designed and built networks and have administered and managed those networks. This last year was spent developing an Ms SQL Server 2005-based client-server web application using Ms Visual Web Developer, ASP.Net Framework in C#.
