Stevie Benge’s Summary

Well I like to say I'm a: Web Junkie, Guitar Tinkerer, Music Snob, Master Futzer, general misanthrope...

That roughly translates as having my hands in both music making and web technologies.

Web development is what I mainly concern myself with, using tools like CSS, XHTML, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL. I've also worked in ColdFusion, classic ASP, and wrote a Perl/CGI script years ago. It wasn't very fun. Now I'm learning ASP.Net / C#.

I'm a big fan of web standards and open source technologies. In fact many of my friends and colleagues often hear me waxing on these topics.

I'm also available for technology consulting if your business is interested in new technologies or needs help configuring your Exchange server or fleet of BlackBerry's.

Feel free to contact me if you're interested in my services. Or visit my web site to see some of my recent freelance projects.
