In 1998, I founded the gaming company WildTangent as employee #2 out of 160 at our peak, and departed during our third round of layoffs after 9/11. In November of 2002 I became employee #4 of LockdownNetworks which specializes in enterprise-level vulnerability management & assessment and (NAC) Network Access Control.

My time was split at WildTangent between total administration of our Linux servers (including building the corporate Intranet) and coding 2D/3D games and tools in Microsoft's Visual J++ (their version of Java and the precursor to C#) using our WebDriver API. At Lockdown Networks I used LAMP technologies (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP), Ruby and XML extensively to architect our product and several internal tools.

I embraced many roles at Lockdown Networks including Product Development Manager, Senior Software Engineer, Lead Developer and Software Architect. I soley built an in-house CRM system (CRiMson) and developed a wireless scanner solution. Additionally, I have made significant contributions to the custom change request system (Roach), vastly improved the 2.x series of product, and re-wrote the architecture and GUI for 3.0, all while managing a team of up to six other developers.

I am extremely versatile and can perform many roles while multitasking. My strengths are in building tools, automation, interfaces, data mining and report generation using relational databases & PHP as well as Java & Object Oriented Programing. My code is clean, efficient, clever, well designed, documented and easily maintainable. I pride myself in this and view coding as an art form. Please see my online résumé for many working examples, screen-shots and a Word doc version:

Some of my other achievements worth calling attention to, are that I have owned, operated and administered several Linux/Apache servers since 1992, building all of my machines by hand, so I'm no stranger to hardware either. I also worked as an editor and webmaster for the industry changing "boot", "MaximumPC", "MaximumLinux" and "PCGamer" magazines for several years. Prior to that, I owned a digital recording studio called The Matrix (which I then sold that domain to Warner Brothers).

Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
