Richard Caetano’s Summary
With more than 10 years of experience, I seek to apply my skills towards creative programming projects though consulting and contract arrangements. My interests include database design, user interface development, and web architecture.
I enjoy working with a team and the resources at hand to deliver a quality product. I believe constraints help drive the creative process.
* Experience with database architecture, design, and optimization
* Design experience with n-tier and web architecture (SEO)
* Proficient with several programming languages and technologies
* Served as senior developer to mentor junior developers
* High aptitude for computer science
My early years (teenager) of programming focused on graphics programming using C++, Pascal, and Assembly. This was an exciting combination of math, low level programming, and creative solutions to the hardware limitations at the time.
