EXPERIENCE
Aria Interactive, Self Employed; Temple Georgia January 2009 - Present

Aria Interactive is the result of 20 years experience in the software development and web design eld.
In January of 2009, I re-branded Second Rate Hosting to increase exposure and move forward helping
companies orchestrate their presence on the Internet. With Aria Interactive I have focused on local area
businesses and individuals who are looking build their site from the ground up, or just makeover what
they already have.
In addition to server administration, my duties also include meeting with customers, learning about
their company and ascertaining their needs, scheduling projects for quick completion, and performing
usability tests before signing off on the nal project. I design and develop customized web solutions,
which include complete e-commerce solutions, business and personal blog templates.
I provide customized logo designs, document conversion, application design and development, as well as
web hosting solutions and website design and implementation for small business and individuals
utilizing HTML, CSS, Javascript, and XML. I also develop business and personal websites using
Wordpress, MovableType, Drupal, Joomla, Expression Engine, Blogger, and many more CMS packages.
Link Communications, Ltd.; Annapolis Junction, Maryland December 2000 - January 2009
Software Engineer
My duties at Link required the planning and implementation of numerous web-based projects where I
was responsible for developing customized front and back end solutions for all of Link's Internet based
vehicle tracking systems, airport monitoring systems, as well as the Link corporate website. These duties
required the extensive use of HTML, CGI, Javascript, CSS, PHP, and Flash. My responsibilities also
included the development of stand-alone Windows based vehicle monitoring and tracking software

training for the systems utilized by police, re, public safety, and homeland security agencies. I was also
responsible for monitoring in-house server load and performance, adjusting parameters and bandwidth
as needed.
I was instrumental in the development of an ambulance tracking and monitoring system for the
University of Maryland Trauma Center which provided route information and estimated arrival time
information for critical care patients. While coordinating this project, I utilized HTML, CGI, Javascript
and CSS to deliver the best customer experience while providing all of the essential services required by
the customer.
I developed a front-end web solution for the New Jersey Department Of Transportation using HTML,
CSS, PHP, XML, and Javascript. This project allowed for the monitoring of small regional airports
through the use of a graphical web interface that accessed Link s on-site cameras and recording
devices. I was responsible for developing the initial proof of concept, scope documentation,
implementation, and testing of this project.
