Good morning, I read your post with attention and even if I haven't won a bid on this website, I'm sure my quality of work and the dedication I give to what I fix myself to achieve will speak for themselves. In order not to loose you on words, let me answer direclty your questions: - Expertise in j2ee: I work with EJBs since 4 years now and have gone through the different specifications but I tend to propose to my clients the simplest but more efficient solutions I can come up with after reading their specifications - Years of experience: I started programming back in 1987 but I'm really in the business and professional areas since 1996 - Education: I hold 2 M.Sc. one in Pures Mathematics (hold since 2000) and the second one in Computer Science (hold since 1996) - Certifications / awards / everything else: I am a SCJP 1.4 and a SCWCD - Location: I'm located in Berlin, Germany and hold all my projects from here. - Where you are working right now: I am actually working for an online real estate agency (the biggest in Germany) as an IT Consultant - Where you had been working yet and so on: I've been working mainly as employee but since the last 3 years, essentially as IT consultant for various companies, from Telco to ASPs, financial and government institutions. But I'm actually doing some personnal projects that I should be able to propose as an On-Demand Application Service Provider, projects that are all J2EE oriented and with hibernate (J2SE 1.6, hibernate, Web Services [Apache Axis], MVC [Apache Struts], Apache Tomcat, Apache Web server, apache Geronimo, MySQL and Oracle, Windows and Linux). In case references are needed, please let me know. Kind regards, Daniel
