## BIO
This is going to be fairly general since I have a lot of experience with computers/programming/networking and the IT business in general, the best way to find out if I am suitable for any project you may have will be to speak to me directly. I have done a lot of work with the InterShop software package. I have been IT manager/Network Manager for a large ecommerce company, with a medium Solaris/Linux/Cisco infastructure. I have been programming perl, C/C++, weblanguages for about 7 years. I have extensive experience in multithreaded, multisocketed application development. I have good understanding and experience working with MySQL, and Postgres databases, and some experience with SQL Server 2000 and Sybase ASE. I have been using Linux since the early days of the 2.2 series kernel and have installed and configured 100's of machines from desktops to servers to firewalls. I am a certified Sun Security Administrator for Solaris 9, and have lots of hours logged with solaris 8 and 9 administration. I have developed professionally over 50 websites most of which where for large companies including Cif, SCI-FI channel (UK), Mars, Octagon Leisure, Brandshatch. I was senior perl developer for the number 3 ranked web development company in England, although I was also offered the same position at the number 2 ranked company I felt it offered less creative freedom.
