I am a professional programmer with many years of experience. I have a Bachelors degree in Computer Science, and have been working for a software company since I was 16 years old, writing software, supporting customers, administering computers, designing and managing databases, etc.

My strengths are Microsoft .Net, vb, c#, sqlserver. I have dabbled in php, python, c++, javascript. I am proficient in windows application development and windows api. I have strong linux skills, including apache, nginx, and squid experience. I have strong tcp/ip networking skills and I am proficient at cisco ios and have dabbled in adtran aos. I am very comfortable with vmware and dabbled in Microsoft hyper-V.

I'd say my specialty is object orientated design and development in .Net (and COM) with visual basic or visual c#. I enjoy designing and building complex objects that are programmer friendly. My co-workers call me the tool maker, and often I find myself enhancing the toolkit rather than using the tool in an inefficient or ugly way. I like readable code that is self documenting.

I am doing this in my free time, so my availability will vary. I am generally very responsive via email, but if I need to do research into something it may take me some time to get in front of a computer without distractions.
