Languages and Technologies

My expertise is application development for the Microsoft® Windows platform. I began using Visual Basic in 1994 with VB 3 and have used all versions through VB 6. Around 2009 I began using C#, and most of my work now is with C#.

In addition to application development I enjoy Web development. I began web development around 1999, with consulting jobs, commercial off-the-shelf products, and development of my site.
