I am a seasoned software developer serving customers worldwide.
I specialize in data-intensive apps, legacy system renewals, and project turnarounds.
I love to work on nuanced projects, especially those with multilingual and international facets.
I do project consulting
Two main areas: software development and web resets.
Software development
Project Management: seasoned management leadership and guru-level technical expertise from a veteran of domestic and international projects.
Turnarounds are my specialty: salvaging software projects, and working in difficult development situations.
Developer's Resource: elevate your team with project mentoring services.
Multilingual Applications: see my INTL Toolkit.
Web resets
Web application design and development: web-stores and custom data-driven, flexible, interactive websites.
Website auditing: to get a solid understanding of your current situation
Website refinement: renewal to reflect current best practices and your position relative to competitors.
Web analytics: analyze your web traffic to reckon what's right and what's wrong with your current reach.
Search engine marketing: optimize your site for search engines.
I do mentoring
Mentor: a trusted guide, a provider of wise counsel and advice, a confidant.
Mentoring for developers and teams
I've been mentoring teams within organizations with Visual FoxPro, web, and SQL applications for 25 years.
My mentoring relationships are: team-oriented, goal-oriented, and flexible.
Mentoring for site managers
Making your software strong is always a directed and incremental process.
I work with development managers to make smart plays while following sound, measurable plans.
