I've been creating software applications professionally since I was 12 yrs old. Dropped out of high school at 15 to pursue my computer career (BS in Computer Science).
Solving the computer problems is easy. It's all about working with teams and meeting the mass consumer's needs to generate revenue.
I started FreeMail Inc that sold for millions.

During the last half of 1997, Steve
Saroff and myself sold FreeMail, Inc. to WAM!NET, Inc. (a partner
with WorldCom). As part of the deal, Steve and I became employees of WAM!NET,
which is a great company. In my current role as "Guru" I am responsible
for much of the 'hands-on' design and development of the newest and
most exciting products that WAM!NET releases.
I have written Mail Servers (SMTP, POP3), Web servers, Middleware servers, FTP Servers, etc
'95-'97 Founder / Vice President Research and Development
of FreeMail, Inc.
'92-'95 Microsoft Corp. Redmond, WA
'92 CK Computer Consultants, Missoula, Montana.
As a consultant. I continued work on a 3D rendering/animation package
that I have been developing over the past 1 1/2 yrs. Added full Phong shading,
directed light sources, spot lights, texture mapping, bump mapping, ray
tracing, and quadratic surface (Bezier & Spline). All algorithms are
implemented by me and specially tailored to eliminate inconsistencies that
normally appear in 3D animation. Continued my work with TCP/IP communication
software. Developed a TSR clock interrupt program. Developed deamons on
BSD and AT&T System V versions of Unix to allow users requesting a
TCP/IP socket connection to log in and access the HBO patient Information
Database. The created a bridge between a old and new database system.
'91-'92 Electronic Arts, San Mateo, CA
Worked for "Electronic Arts" in San Mateo, CA developing the next Deluxe
Paint product (DPaintV). My contributions were 3D animation, Spline
manipulation, keyframing, along with many enhancements and fixes to exiting
code. I also contributed to the Window's version of Electronic Arts Studio
Paint.
Worked for Molecular Simulations in Santa Clara, CA developing
3D graphics visualization for their chemistry modeling package on SGI,
DEC, and SUN machines in C++ with Dore and OpenGL.
'90-'91 CK_Computer Consultants, Missoula, Montana
Worked for CK_Computer Consultants developing Unix Software in 'C'
for a local hospital. Designed and implemented a virtual terminal emulator
package that made connection and exchanging data between all three of the
hospitals platforms (2 proprietary OS's, 1 Unix) transparent to the user.
Developed process control and data logging software in 'C' on IBM PCs for
VanAlco aluminum plant. This software monitored the flow rates and electrical
consumption of aluminum pots and at the end of each day this data would
be automatically transferred via phone line to our office for further analysis.
Developed a 3D-Rendering package in "C++". This program handles 3D modeling,
including specular reflections, shadowing, multiple light sources, as well
as translations, rotations, projections, and enabled one to build 3D animation
sequences that can be recorded and played back. This package was written
using only graphics primitives. Also developed Clipper Database applications.
'89-'90 Research
Individually designed and implemented a real time Graphical User Interface
Builder in 'C' for the Amiga (680X0) based computer. This application generated
'C' source code for a WYSIWYG user development environment. Once code was
compiled and linked with my event handling library, the user merely had
to write the callbacks for each gadget hook. Amiga's windowing library
is very low level and this was a much needed layer.
'88-'89 University of Maryland, Towson, Maryland
Individually developed an image processing/enhancing/animation package
in 'C'/Assembly for the IBM PC, digitizing tablet and a cold temperature
CCD camera mounted on a 14" telescope at Towson State University. This
package entailed developing a windowing environment and many image and
graphics manipulation routines, with the basic bitmap manipulation routines
and animation playback routines written in 80X86 assembly.
'87-'88 Research, Baltimore, Maryland
I have worked extensively developing real time graphics and user interfaces
on Sun Workstations in SunView while at the University of Delaware. I developed
an arcade style game called MEX (based on Tetris) which was distributed
on USENET and SUG tapes. I received many compliments from peers worldwide.
'85-'86 SLR Systems Inc, Butler, Pennsylvania
Worked for SLR Systems developing Assemblers, Librarians and Linkers
for 80X86 and Z80 based machines. Products were developed in Assembly Language.
The final products were commercially distributed nationwide. Out performed
our competitor Microsoft in execution speed by a factor of 9. SLR Systems
was sold to Symantec.
'84-'85 Star Systems Software, Orlando, Florida
Worked for Star Systems Software developing applications software and
real time graphics simulation software. HomePak(TM) (communications, word
processor and database package; the first integrated application suite)
an application program I jointly developed was on Billboard Magazine's
Top 10 Software list for 9 months selling well over 300,000 copies.
'79-'84 Owner/Founder BananaSoft Inc., Baltimore, Maryland
Founded a computer software company and sub-contracted to such companies
as Adventure International and Atari Soft. Developed real time graphic
arcade games and a 6502 Assembler/Editor on Commodore 64, Apple, and Radio
Shack TRS-80 series. All software was written in 100% Assembly code and
commercially distributed. Games were Preppie, Mailman, Ape, Space Invaders.
