I have spent the last 16 years developing web sites and applications using ColdFusion, SQL Server databases, and JavaScript. I have strong communications skills, am honest and reliable, and am a real team player.

I am an expert at collecting, validating, displaying form data, populating databases, and creating a smooth user experience. I take pride and pleasure making technology work for people.

Core Strengths

ColdFusion 7/8/9/10 SQL Server 7/2008 jQuery / JavaScript / Ajax HTML 5 / CSS I strictly adhere to ColdFusion, SQL Server, jQuery, OOP and MVC best practices while completing each task.

I am available to develop small or large web sites for small or large businesses in the Minneapolis / Saint Paul / Twin Cities area. I am also available for short or long term contract work as well as long term employment.

Nov 30	comment	Is my project a web site or a mobile app? I think you make the best point, that the line between web app and web site have been recently blurred. Thanks for your answer!
Nov 30	comment	Is my project a web site or a mobile app? Your answer is the obvious answer. I'd really like to know what the real difference is, other than one MUST be partially downloaded. Thanks.

Jun 5	comment	Technical website - Should I assume that my visitors will use a modern browser? @JohnConde has an opinion, just like everyone else here. He's exceedingly knowledgeable and helpful and provides a great service by being on StackExchange. I think his answer is TOTALLY appropriate for companies with a team of experienced web developers. It's TOTALLY inappropriate for a single person blogging and coding about geeky stuff.
Jun 5	comment	Technical website - Should I assume that my visitors will use a modern browser? @WernerCD, the original post is about a single user writing a blog. Are you suggesting that he takes the same track StackOverflow takes and hires a team of people or that he learns the nuances of every browser? He should spend his time blogging and less time coding.
Jun 5	comment	Technical website - Should I assume that my visitors will use a modern browser? All good ideas. There has to be a point though ~ which I know you agree with ~ that developing for a small AND diminishing percentage of the people is a waste of time.
Jun 5	comment	Technical website - Should I assume that my visitors will use a modern browser? This sounds like a good idea to me, and is the way I would do it.
Jun 5	comment	Technical website - Should I assume that my visitors will use a modern browser? You make good points, and it's fairly easy to make a site 95% compatible ~ if not awesome ~ for everyone. The point I am making above is that it takes a LOT of time developing for the least common denominator.
Jun 5	comment	Technical website - Should I assume that my visitors will use a modern browser? Which standards do you adhere to? The latest JavaScript standard or the one that says that your site should work just fine without JavaScript? The point is, there's a standard for everything, and many standards oppose each other.
Jun 4	comment	Technical website - Should I assume that my visitors will use a modern browser? The user's question is about the reasonable use of CSS, JavaScript, and images. It's not about building a web site that hides all of its text in images and JavaScript lazy loads.
Jun 4	comment	Technical website - Should I assume that my visitors will use a modern browser? I would feel safe assuming that 99% of the people who read tech blogs are in the tech industry and have a modern browser and know exactly how to use it.
Jun 4	comment	Technical website - Should I assume that my visitors will use a modern browser? "Make sure that at the very least your home page works fine on every environment you can reasonably support." This makes sense.
Jun 4	comment	Technical website - Should I assume that my visitors will use a modern browser? Most of the companies I work with require web sites to work with IE7+. If users still have IE6-, it's because they have little interest in technology.
