History

I began in the PC industry as a hobby in 1976 with the first “home PC’s” ever, the Altair 8080 and then the TRS-80 computers.  By 1982 I was developing software for the then new IBM PC’s.  I now have more than 25 years of working with and programming PC’s.  I am fluent in the C and C++ languages along with Assembler, Pascal and COBOL.  I am very familiar with all Windows operating systems and programming environments, LINUX and DOS programming environment.  I use and know well Borland C++, Microsoft Visual C++/Studio, Microsoft Visual BASIC, ASP/HTML, Java and other web programming languages.

About Me

I have been a software developer/programmer for about 30 years now and am competent in most development languages and environments.  I started out writing games and business accounting software for Sierra On-line and for the last 22 years have been working for a company (Elixir Technologies, www.elixir.com) developing/designing/programming forms/fonts/graphics/document formatting/printing/management software and am very familiar with high-speed printing environments (Xerox/AFP/IBM etc).

          Currently I am looking to do consulting, programming, design or network management work.  I am most competent in C/C++, JAVA and HTML programming but have worked in many other languages as well (COBOL, BASIC, Fortran, ASP etc) and am very familiar with Windows environment, Windows servers and Windows networking (though I’ve also done Linux server work as well).  I’m also very familiar with many databasing technologies including MySQL, Access and Sequel Server.
