Bridge Building

I am a bridge builder. In one sense, I work with people and technologies to develop and distribute information products. In another, I seek a means for my customers to reach their goals by (a) transversing obstacles created by time and space, (b) protecting resources, most importantly, knowledge, and (c) creating well-laid paths for future movement through chosen technologies and standards and the application of democrtatization within SDLC planning.

I am well-educated (BS, MS and PhD [ABD] with many years of experience working with customers to solve IT problems by developing or procuring systems and software. While most of my career has been in public service, since 2002, I have maintained a connection to the privately-owned company through various developmental positions. I have an interest in researching histories and arts that have been destroyed by modern living. These histories includes the Filipino-American War, the Manilla-Acapulco trade route, Filipino Martial Arts, the Black Karate Federation (BKF) and American Kenpo, and Bodhidharma. Arts of developing countries and Huaco art are also interests of mine.

I have worked in roles that include all levels of customer service (Tier 1-3) as a Field Engineer and HelpDesk Technician through System, Project, and Network Manager. Currently, I am focusing on applications using web-related technologies (HTML5, CSS, JavaScrpt/JQuery, PHP) and open system LAMP CMSs (WordPress, Drupal).

I am interested in employment and contracting opportunities so that I can do what I love, build bridges.
