Internet Technologist
Greater New York City Area
I have served as Chief Technologist of TechKnowSys since its inception. I have over 17 years of experience as a programmer, developing a wide variety of mission-critical systems. I have worked with every type of client from the Sales Force Automation department of Bristol-Myers Squibb to sole proprietors. My specialty is writing perfect code. I have frequently rescued projects by taking Ikea quality code and transforming it into something Gustav Stickley would be proud of!
Having been an entrepreneur for over seven years, I bring a strong business sense to my projects. I have a keen ability to structure websites to enhance usability and keep training requirements to a minimum. Simplicity, elegance and clarity are hallmarks of my work, both in the code that nobody ever sees and in the screens that thousands of users see every day. I build my programs the way the pyramids were built - to last for a long time. I still have plenty of applications in daily use that were written when the Internet was just a puppy.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree from Rutgers University and was formerly an environmental chemist and a steely-eyed airborne scout platoon leader in NJ National Guard.
