Mason, Michigan (USA)
| Summary of Work Experience |
| The last four years I've worked as a systems programmer for web
sites using ASP, VBScript, SQL Server, JavaScript and HTML. I also
created web pages using an in-house proprietary system and had some
contact with Oracle, database design using Enterprise Manager and
InterDev, XML, XSL, Server Side JavaScript, PCAnywhere and various
other tools. Before that I worked mostly in an engineering or manufacturing
environment using FORTRAN and various assembler languages. I worked
on several embedded programming projects. In my personal time I also
am a chess journalist, writing a regular magazine column and maintaining
several web sites. I have been successful in team environments working
in both small and large teams on projects for such customers as Ford,
General Motors and Visteon. I served as the Ford Roadmap help desk
(phone and email) for over a year. I have good analytical skills and
a logical, systematic approach to problem solving. |

This is the correspondence chess Internet web site I am currently designing and coding. Though this is a work in progress, it illustrates my writing, editing and HTML skills. This site contains an archive of my APCT columns (see below) and new articles I've recently written specifically for this web site. Take a look.
