For nearly 10 years, I have been doing extensive government contracting at the Department of Justice, Library of Congress, DC Department of Transportation and a few other agencies while employed by User Technology Associates (UTA, later purhcased by DigitalNet, later purchased by BAE Systems). I have speciailized in information sharing, transformation, and updating legacy systems in both classified and non-classified environments.

Currently, I have started my own software company and have been working to build my customer base through personal interactions and meeting my customer's needs better than my competition. Most of my customers come through referals from existing customers, personal connections on various forums (Joel on Software, Northern Virginia Linux Users' Group, DC Linux Users' Group, Northern Virginia Java Users' Group, and dotProject).
