Founder/President 110 Studios Inc.
Providence, Rhode Island Area
I have been involved in web development and design since 1998. I got my start working for the academic journal, Teachers College Record, a publication of Teachers College, Columbia University. I developed and implemented a powerful set of tools, allowing the academic journal to keep pace with many corporate publishing operations. Over the years I advanced at Teachers College, to eventually become the Associate Director of the Gottesman Libraries and the Head of edLab, the design and development arm of the library.
In January of 2006, I left Teachers College to found 110 Studios Inc, a web-based software development and design firm.
My most valuable skill is my ability to architect robust, easy-to-use web-based software solutions. The technical skills that support that are: .NET Programming in C# and VB, ASP Programming, MS SQL Database Specialist, JavaScript, etc.
I am an expert (i.e. I develop custom modules) with DotNetNuke, Sitefinity CMS, as well as Kentico CMS. All are robust .NET application frameworks.

January 2006 — Present (3 years 7 months)
As owner of 110 Studios, Imanage all aspects of the company, and am involved in a major way in every development project.
The projects we work on at 110 Studios run the gambit -- everything from simple, brochure-style web sites to complex enterprise solutions.
110 Studios is a .NET shop, and we have ample experience with DotNetNuke, Sitefinity CMS, and Kentico CMS.

August 2006 — December 2007 (1 year 5 months)
Over a two-year period I built an industry-leading web-based energy portfolio software application for SilentSherpa Inc. The platform allows SilentSherpa staff to interact with clients using the following modules:
* Automated RFP engine
* Complete budget management
* Multi-fuel market data feeds and automated email alerts
* Multi-expense data management
* Custom reporting solutions to compare any combination of budget, market, billing, and meter data sets
* An online document library, customized for each client
* Company News and Information blogs
In addition, I built (from scratch) an email message center, contact manager, calendar, meeting organizer, and a support ticket system. Each module was custom designed so that it would sync perfectly with the unique business rules of the energy sector, and of SilentSherpa.
All told, the web-based application allows a staff of less than 3 to service over 150 clients.
