Work Experience

• Freelance/Consulting: 2002-Present

  The majority of my consulting has been web design and development, from simple static sites to full e-commerce solutions, for which I provide hosting and email services.

  I have also provided general technical support for businesses like Sea Ranch Vacation Rentals and Capital North Advisors, working directly with users.

• Instructor: Arena Tech Center, 2014-2016

  Instructors assisted visitors (from children to seniors) in utilizing technology; computers, printers, software, and a recording studio with mixing board.

• IT Manager/Network Administrator: Garcia River Casino, 2014-2016

  The Garcia River Casino has six separate networks that must be isolated, yet need to share common resources – all of which is audited annually.

  I was also responsible for the restaurant point-of-sale system, Sage accounting, and the casino management system. I managed desktop computers, point-of-sale terminals, and taught myself to administer the VoIP phone system.

• Web/Intranet Developer: Warren County, NY, 2004-2014

  I was able to foster Warren County’s growth from a dozen-paged website to having several thousand documents and most departments represented on-line. Working with civil servants, politicians and community members, I made information and forms available that were previously only manually available.

  After moving to California, I stayed on as a remote consultant with the County for more than a year until they were able to find a suitable replacement.
