Qualifications

I m a senior web developer who knows that ultimately my output is measured in how much my code benefits my clients, my client's clients, and my client's customers. I have a deep understanding of Internet technologies from the database layer to the socket layer for web services all the way up to the fine tuning of the interface layer via CSS for various releases of mainstream and not so mainstream browsers.

I am looking for a position focusing on Javascript and I'm most interested in things like MVC in the browser, server push paradigms and fat clients. I can probably create an interactive multimedia front end solutions for your data paradigm, whatever it might be. I can do a proof of concept for your big presentation rapidly with Amazon EC2 platform integration and document storage. I can rapidly create a set of interactive browser based game levels to demo your killer new compelling game mechanics and story ideas. I prefer 1099 contracts but would be open to W2 contracts or even a long term position for the right company.
