Bryan Siders’s Summary

Software Architect for in-house and retail-quality Web applications. If you have an idea for a product you would like to sell to others, or you have a need for a new in-house application that solves a problem specific to your company, I can help you design the application, get it developed, give it a very professional look, handle any technical support you or your clients may need, maintain the application on your machines, or even host it on my company's Internet servers.

I am looking for new clients with interesting ideas for Web applications that could possibly be resold to other companies.
