Doug Boude’s Summary

My name is Doug Boude (rhymes with 'loud'), and I have been developing web based applications, end to end, for the past 13 years primarily using Coldfusion, Flex, and some flavor of SQL (MSSQL, MySQL, and even Access when required). I use the latest MVC frameworks with an Object Oriented approach for almost all of my projects. My problem solving abilities are excellent, my demeanor and interpersonal skills are above par, and my experience is both deep and wide, covering many technologies, standards, industries, and management.

Additionally, I speak and read Spanish nearly fluently, speak and read French moderately, and dabble in other languages as well. Oh, and I spent four years disarming dud bombs for the US Air Force (still got all my fingers).
