Starting developing in 1980's using Basic, MSC 5.0, Btrieve and DBFs. Back when men were men and there were no wizards. Since then, I have developed payroll processing system, general ledger packages, billing systems, project accounting systems, order entry, a report writer, email systems, development frameworks, C++ based Web Application Server and others that have long been forgotten.

Professionally, I have been a developer, sr. developer, development lead, architect, chief architect, CTO, director of development, and consultant. I am also in charge of changing the bottled water when empty.
