HI. My name's Glenn.
I'm a developer/analyst in the Cincinnati area. Nice to meet you.
I have a day job, but also do freelance. I like to work with
small businesses, including startups, but I'll entertain just about anything.
I do a lot of different things, but let's just talk about IT for a moment.
I've worn just about every IT hat there is, and I've been doing it for a long time.
My strong suit is systems architecture. I can help you take a look at your
entire information system - from your web-facing public image to your back-office
operations. I love challenging, diverse problems. Here's a sampling
of the things I focus on:
- Web and applications development (.NET, Win32/COM and PHP primarily)
- Experience with Exchange, Sharepoint, Flash, Ajax, Web Services, XML and tons of
other stuff you're probably wondering about
- Database (MS SQL, MySQL and Postgres)
- Networking and infrastructure
- Information security
- Applications integration
- Telecommunications
If none of that means a lot to you, think of it this way: I solve lots of different
problems in lots of different areas of technology. Chances are, I know a bit
about what you're facing. Drop me a note and let's chat about it.
About Coder's Art
I'm passionate about design. I think IT people tend to get pigenholed into
a stereotype - namely that of being flat and not very creative. While I certainly
agree that there aren't many people who would make fabulous graphic designers and
accomplished developers, I think there are some unsung synergies between the two.
In some ways, programming is like music, or perhaps sculpture. It's just that
much of the art in code is never seen. Plus, programmers are astonishingly
adroit at churning out ugly interfaces that "feel" sterile and look worse.
I'm allowed to say that - I was one of them!
Anyway, my hope is that this site can begin to bridge the gap between the two :-).
