SUMMARY

During my professional experience I have authored over 40 commercial software products. Since 1995 I have pioneered several new internet technologies, including the first off-the-shelf eCommerce product for Windows, Macintosh, and Unix, the first database server designed for the web, and the first complete server-side dynamic HTML language. After ushering these products well into their fourth generation, I'm now ready to manage a team of engineers to create new products—web-based or otherwise—that use technology emerging today.
