SUMMARY
I am looking for software contracts for work in Client/Server, Web or RDBMS areas. Locations outside my commute area will require additional compensation for lodging. This may include activity in development, administration, training and consultation. Personal objective is to build upon the expertise I have gained over the years in enterprise-wide databases, development, administration and training arenas; to enhance projects with a team focus and strong work ethic; and provide financial resources to move into retirement. Payments are best via C2C or 1099, to enhance flexibility and tax planning for both parties. No benefits are required. Willing to work from virtual office, traveling when necessary.
