I'm a software developer.
My Bachelor's degree is in software engineering. Over the years, I've had the opportunity to work on numerous software and Web design projects and acquired a number of skills.
- Booze Blues Guitar Slides: Required HTML, JavaScript and Perl programming. This site is no longer online, but here is what it looked like. The client requested a "very simple site" with a mail-in order form only. The Perl does not execute here because it is disabled on my host, but the code itself is viewable.
