Jim Van Fleet’s Summary

My professional interests lie in sustainable professional growth, with a focus on expanding my own network with as many quality persons as possible while increasing my own value and knowledge within my profession. By getting to know more people in diverse professions and from different backgrounds while focusing on becoming the best I can possibly be at my own profession, I plan on being able to change the world some day.

Professionally, I enjoy creating websites for small- to medium-sized groups that enable those groups to define their own ways of working. In order to do so, I continue a technical search for the most expressive frameworks at the same time as I seek a lot of practice in communication with business stakeholders.

Over time, I would like to institute my own consultancy or small business. Right now, however, I feel that I would like to know more people in the industry before I make such a leap.
