I am a Web and Open Source applications developer living in beautiful Calgary, Alberta.

Specializing in front and back-end technologies, with a special focus on well-engineered, standards-compliant, accessible web sites and applications. I develop user-friendly, navigable and portable web interfaces to the highest degree of W3C standards and recommendations.

I am a strong proponent of the concept of a Semantic Web "Web of data" as opposed to just creating flashy designs. I am not a graphic designer, as my works reveal. I instead focus on the (in my opinion) more important "future-proofing" of web sites and applications with connectability, accessibility and portability.

With more than eight years of internet experience, always staying on the very fine edge of new internet technology, I am certainly poised to develop your next web site or application.

Please feel free to contact me regarding any project(s) you may have in mind.

All of my development projects, tasks and techniques are hand-coded using a highly-customized programmer's text editor on the Linux platform.
