I am currently an independent business and technology consultant, skilled Linux system administrator and Perl application developer. I am looking forward to new horizons and new challenges.

My primary focus has been on:
1. Business consulting and management
2. Creating application designs and then developing the design using Perl.
3. System architecture/administration (on CentOS and Fedora)
4. Design and Development of a VOIP Reminder Call Program for TheCourtBrothers.com

I am highly self-motivated, intellectually curious, dedicated to my work, my clients, and thrive on problem solving. I am looking for a new position that will keep challenging me to develop new and better ways to improve business and the applications that make companies work. I am looking for a company that has innovative ideas and products and wants to move forward toward their future.

My ideal position would be working with a virtual team via telecommute with regular face to face check-ins as needed. I am not opposed to on-site work. Not everyone has the skill set required to work productively and successfully via telecommute, but I have been doing it for 10 years now, and this solution has proven to be cost effective for my employers and allowed me to work most efficiently.
