Good Morning, I am currently in Victoria, British Columbia, returning to London, Ontario at the end of November. I have been involved in technical training and IT education, both developing and delivering curriculum for a number of years. I have taught A+, Network+, Novell CNE, Web development and programming and several scripting/programming languages.

While at the University of Waterloo Math Faculty I was involved in a total rebuild of the website infrastructure, migrating from a page-by-page codebase to a modular server side include driven codebase. The new design was to give content creators maximum flexibility and viewers maximum compatibility even down to mobile users. We achieved this through the use of Apache server side includes, PHP coding and MySql databases. In addition we were able to give the website a fresh new look. Additionally we developed Apple Webobjects subsites, mediaWiki subsites and PHP/MySql database driven web pages. During my final year with the Math Faculty we were involved in evaluations of content management systems such as Drupal and Joomla.

With my wide variety of experience both in training and working in the web development and IT arena I believe I could become a valuable member of your team. I have attached my resume for your perusal and hope to discuss this matter with you in great detail in the near future.
