I have been a web and application developer for 14 years, although I first began computer programming in 1982 in high school, learning Pascal, Fortran, Basic, and bits of machine code. In 1985 I was hired by Denver Public Schools to write a math tutoring program for them in Basic.
After a break of ten years (during which I became an English major, a published writer, a newspaper and then magazine editor, a copy editor, and a designer), I returned to programming with the added (and rare) capability to be creative and design-savvy while at the same time an expert in computer logic. I obtained a Microsoft Certified Solutions Developer certification (including four separate Microsoft developer certifications) in 2000 and now have experience in a host of languages: Visual Basic, C#, and C++ on the application side, and HTML, DHTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, Perl, VBScript, ASP, and others on the web development side. I have worked using SQL, MySQL, Access, ADO, OLE DB, ODBC, and COM/DCOM, and of course Microsoft’s .Net architecture.
I’ve created extensive web sites for the Telecommunications Virtual Museum and for
Penumbric Speculative Fiction Magazine, and have done work for Shelterdome, the Telecommunications History Group, the Society of Rocky Mountain Archivists, Immedient, Mad Watch Productions, and Centennial Publishing. I have developed applications for Pikes Peak National Bank and for Integrate Technology Institute. In the course of this work I have written a search engine in Perl and reworked it into PHP (see the
Telecommunications Virtual Museum), and I've also written an online shopping application in PHP for the
Telecommunications History Group. Samples of my work can be seen by

I am currently becoming involved in game development as well, primarily using Microsoft's XNA.
My rates for programming are $25 per hour for web development and $30 per hour for application development.
