About

In a past life, I was a data entry clerk who quickly got tired of lost productivity due to cumbersome user interfaces and set out to do something about it.

I have a passion for increasing business efficiency at both the user and systems levels, while also being mindful of the need for information security.

Having a B.S. in Information Security and Assurance, I've found my niche in web/relational database development, which I have been doing for several years now.
