What goal is your company, firm or project trying to achieve? Do you already have marketable services that produce revenue, or a convincing plan to reach production? Do you need help quantifying your progress or actually constructing an application. I am capable of helping you with both.

My Background:

I'm a technology generalist with experience at all levels of production and marketing, with a recent focus on specializing in WebGL and Python. I have maintained export control software, executed legal compliance for the Amazon vendor catalog, built expense reporting tools at the top echelons of Microsoft and have managed national direct mail marketing campaigns with millions of recipients.

In my evening hours I have started open source software teams which build simulation web platforms and have created futurist communities locally and online to predict the impact of new technology. This includes creating a Python web templating framework using the "barebones" bottle.py library and creating site logic that works with a responsive bootstrap theme and webGL. A viewable demonstration of my work can be seen at Asteroid.Ventures

I've worked with nearly every type of SQL (T-SQL, MySQL, IBM-DB2, SQLite), and have experimented with a few NoSQL solutions like MongoDB and Riak. I know Excel inside and out, with Macros, VBA, PivotTables, PowerPivot, MDX and all sorts of list magic. Beyond that, I'm familiar with IIS, NodeJS, Python, Apache for web servers, Github, TFS for version control, MVC vs MVVM, and building RESTful services for exchanging assets over HTTP.

The soft skills are not lost on me however. I am a brilliant technical documentarian and a regular blogger. I believe in creating truly insightful content that provokes thought provoking discussion. It's what inspired me to become a moderator leader for transparency on /r/Futurology and to create my local Seattle Futurist Society. Whether it's JIRA, Wordpress, Wiki, or in-person discussion, I can facilitate content creation for your media service. Plus with an education in physics and astronomy, I can assure you expert subject matter knowledge on scientific writing.
