Intro:I've enjoyed writing software ever since I first owned a computer as a child. I'm passionate and ethusiastic about creating great programs and it has only been natural that this has become my career. I've followed up my university studies with over ten years for industry experience, working on successful projects for great companies. I'm now an independent software consultant, using my skills at design, communication, quality control and time management to provide excellent results for my clients.

Programming Skills: Main tool: c++ on Window and Windows+Linux environments. Also favor rapid development via scripting languages. I've worked at all levels, from User Interface down through SDK and frameworks and deep into OS and Database Kernels.

Obligitory list of Acronymns:: C++, Object-Oriented design, Win32, COM, XML, Scripting (java script, bash, vbscript, python), Linux, Databases, Threading, MFC

Other Skills: I use Unit Testing and Development Process to hit schedule and quality expectations. I've done major contributions to several test frameworks. I believe in code readability, with healthy doses of documentation (source comments, wiki or doxygen). And I have teamwork and leadership skills which extend my positive influence in a organization.

I'm not... a graphics designer, assembly-code hacker, pure management, or a political player. I'm a problem-solving generalist rather than a specialist.
