Jim Rising’s Summary

I've been working in technology for almost 15 years now in one capacity or another, with a primary focus in software development and social networking. I am an experienced Windows 2000 and 2003 System Admin and MS-SQL DBA. I've also been working with Cold Fusion since version 4 arrived (somewhere in 1998). I've managed overseas and local software development teams on hundreds of web software development projects. I recently sold my software development and web hosting company, and I'm looking forward to eventually starting something different.

For now, I'm concentrating on improving my skills as a programmer, and I'm excited to be working with Userplane as a Software Engineer. I've recently begun working with Flex and Apollo / Air (Adobe Integrated Runtime).
