Experience
Hal Computers 1999 - 2001
Hal Computers was a computer repair shop in Glendale. I cleaned viruses from customer's computers, and taught customers how to use the software on their computer. I also helped the owner with accounting and other clerical duties.
nextBlock.com 2001 - Present
I was originally hired to give the site better search engine results. I learned ASP Classic, and Microsoft SQL, then completely redid the site. When the server admin moved to a new company, I became the server admin. I administer the web server, db server, exchange server, and implement security for the servers and work stations.
Freelance 1998 - Present
The sites in the portfolio shown are only a few. Some of the sites I have done are no longer
on the Internet as the business has closed, or the owner decided to not have a web presence. I can provide files and samples for all those sites.
