Introduction

I am a software mentor, system administrator, developer, architect and manager. I am now also a Javascript and Google Maps developer. I built this site, including 22 Google Maps. Historically I have been working in python and Plone, but surprisingly python is very similar to Javascript.   I have been involved in all phases of software development. I have administered web sites on Linux, Windows and FreeBSD. I have developed in Javascript, Python, and Plone. I have mentored others, designed applications, developed my own code, and debugged other people's code.  I would love to work for you.
