My Expertise


I bring to every project a strong desire to serve the user. I care deeply about the user experience, and even while working on server software, I always strive to “maximize user delight”, in the words of Alan Cooper. Thus, I tend to gravitate towards projects involving user interface design. My areas of expertise include:

  1. ★ Java Servlet Programming

  2. ★ Website Design

  3. ★ Web Application Programming

  4. ★ Desktop User Interface Design

  1. ★ Fault Analysis & Debugging

  2. ★ Refactoring Existing Code

  3. ★ XML Transformation

  4. ★ Web Graphic Design

My Passion


While I have worked on many different kinds of projects on many different platforms, my heart belongs to only one: the Macintosh. I was fortunate enough to be paid to develop Mac software for about 8 years, and although I had to move on to other projects to pay the bills, I have always kept my finger on the pulse of Mac development on my own time. With the maturation of OS X and now the release of the iPhone OS and its Software Developers Kit, I look forward to working with your organization to create the next generation of software for Apple platforms.
