Paul Gordon’s Summary
I design both thin and thick cleint software of all kinds, including full-sized, fully-featured ERP systems. For these I have done everything from requirements gathering, database design, GUI, security, to end-user support. Can one person code up a large system from scratch faster than a team? Yes, because I subscribe to many tenants of the AGILE model of systems development.
Paul Gordon’s Specialties:
SQL, C#, VB.NET, ASP.NET, AJAX, Crystal. Some Java/Oracle.
