I have 20 years’ experience in system architecture and design, DB programming, application development and programming, web development, CMS configuration and customization, CRM design and development including such technology platforms as: VS, TFS, C#, VB.Net, ASP.Net, T-SQL, PHP, MySQL, HTML, JS, WordPress, Drupal, Telerik, SQL Server, MySQL, MS Access, and Oracle. I am diligent, hard-working, and collaborative with excellent communication skills. I was one of three people that founded Coretrac Inc. (Austin, TX) in 2001 and from the beginning I was responsible for architecting both the SQL Server data layer and the Visual Basic business layer. I worked successfully with that same company for over 16 years as an employee working remotely from Kingston, Ontario, a fact that underscores my qualities of self-motivation and reliability. In my spare time I like to write historical fiction. My first published novel, The Last Stoic, a story in which modern America meets ancient Rome, made the 2012 ReLit Awards long list. My second novel, Bottle and Glass, is set closer to home in the Kingston, Ontario of 1814. My background in Philosophy (MA – Dalhousie U.) and my love of writing help me to have excellent communication skills. ©
