I’ve been working on web applications since the late 1990s – my first project was deployed to a global team of over 3000 technical support engineers. I started full-time web work in 2004 at a marketing firm and have continued evolving through the web field as the web itself has evolved. After a stint as a ‘working’ manager of web developers, I am now retired from full-time work but available to work on small websites. In addition to web development work, I taught web development at DeVry University in the early 2000s (during which the Netscape 6 upgrade required a complete re-work of the class!)
