Welcome to my software consulting page.

I work in Java, C#, C++ on Windows, Unix and generic Internet platforms. Newer languages and platforms are always welcome! I like to work on difficult problems. I also like to get involved with new languages and tools.

If the problem is at least somewhat well-defined, I can (and prefer to) work on a fixed price quote basis.

I am located near the Research Triangle (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill) area of North Carolina in the USA. I also have experience with working remotely and have worked for clients situated in various parts of the USA as well as outside the USA.

I have been in the Computer Software industry for about three decades now. I have been consulting for much of that time. I have a Master's Degree in Computer Science from Yale University. While at Yale, I designed the pseudo-terminal device drivers of Unix, which are used for Unix windowing and remote login operations.

In the near past, I have created the following products:

• EZ JCom A bridging tool for connecting Java to COM, and for bridging Java and languages like C# and Visual Basic.
• Blazix A Java Application and Web server.
• Jaxcent A Java-only AJAX solution.

Some of my recent consulting assignments are outlined below:

• Developed an Interactive Voice Response system for Prominic of Champaign, IL.

  Justin Hill of Prominic provided the following feedback, which he also graciously allowed me to post on the web:

  All I have to say is BRAVO! ... I read your code and it was like reading a well written novel. I have never seen source code so perfectly assembled. I'm seriously in awe.

  ... we will be using you for any foundation / master brainwork ... because I just can't believe how much better your code is ...

  I REALLY appreciate it. ... Thank you again sincerely. This was great work ...

• Developed an internet-traffic interception mechanism for WebPerformance of Durham, NC.
• Developed a solution for Chordiant of UK, for letting ActiveX and applets that use Java coexist while using different versions of Java.

I have done C#, Java, C++, Lisp, Networking, Graphics, User Interfaces, and various and sundry software work prior to that. Rather than being a "specialist" of some niche or the other, I am a general "curious" programmer, and like to learn all I can about new technologies that come along.

I have done "turn around" work on projects, of getting troubled projects out of trouble and on the path to success.

I have also been successful in various "getting over the hurdle" situations.

If you have work that you would like to parcel out, if your project is experiencing a technical challenge that needs solving, if you have a project that is just not moving forward and needs turning-around onto the path of success, drop me a line!

Note: I am not a web page designer! I receive some inquiries about web-page design, but as perhaps you can tell from this page, that is not my strength. I do the technical stuff "behind the scenes", not graphics design. The links I have provided above are about software products I have created. The web page layout and graphics, in all cases, were done by somebody else!
