Served in the United States Army in Intellignece as a Voice Intercept Operator, Korean Language from 1981-1985

Earned a Bachelor of Science, Electronics Engineering Technology degree from DeVry Institute of Technology, Phoenix, Az in 1990.

Implementation project management in software and IT. Lots of experience recently with CRM system integration, documentation, training, and administering a certification program. Web development in Python/Django, php.

I have a Bachelor of Science in Technical Management and an Associate of Science degree in Software Application Programming. I graduated from my Associate of Science program as Valedictorian, thus showing my determination to excel at whatever I do.

I recently worked as a Programmer Analyst II for the Univerisity of California of Riverside developing online teacher support and assessment programs using C# and the .NET framework. I have used various open source software such as Open Office, Apache, NET Beans IDE, Sharp Development IDE. I am also familiar with Ruby on Rails, Perl, and other open source programming languages and software.

I started messing around with databases in 2005 with Microsoft Access. I moved on to Microsoft SQL Server and finally to PHP/MySQL. I picked up XHTML, CSS and JavaScript on the way. I have worked within a Linux server environment before and am fairly comfortable with command line. I continue to pursue as much education/training as I can with regard to PHP MySQL and hopefully soon mobile app development.

I am a mathematician (PhD from SUNY Albany) who is now looking for work in computer programming. I especially like the mix of linear algebra and computer software found in computer graphics, but I'm willing to do work in other things as well.

I have professional experience using Perl, PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, etc. in web development; as a student I've used C++ and Java; in personal projects I've used Forth, Assembler, and Python. I'm currently learning Haskell and Common Lisp, and, while I'd be willing to use any language, I'd be especially exited if I could use Python, Haskell or Lisp!

I'm also interested in both digital and analog robotics (I like "dual quaternions"; they have applications in both robotics and computer graphics), technical writing, and being a security guard (especially if I get to use the flame thrower).

I am also interested in part-time work! I'm currently working part-time for EV Source in Logan; working part-time for others will make it easier for me to continue work with EV Source.
