Objective I am currently seeking full time employment as a web developer using ASP.NET (C#) and scripting technologies. My specific experience and focus surrounds the practice of innovative web engineering using the newer 2.0 ASP.NET framework and VBScript. I also have very good knowledge of SQL Server 2005/Stored Procedures, as well as solid web design architecture skills using the new Web Standards framework (XHTML/CSS). I am an innovator in the web development industry in my ability to combine C# and ASP.NET with XHTML and Style Sheet systems. I am looking for an employer who would benefit from these cutting-edge skillsets.

Employed 8+ years fulltime for a local Dallas IT Services firm, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience in architecting successful websites for local companies. I have a successful track record working directly with corporate clients and project leaders in defining project plans, architecting scopes, and delivering implementations based on expectations. I have real experience delivering applications and solutions that bring positive impact on the business clients they serve.

I also run my own mISV website software company in my spare time (www.GiantIsland.com). This business has allowed me to grow my knowledge of the software business as a whole, including the online business model, the role of SEO, quality web product architecture, customer support, and the web site product development life cycle.
