Work status

I'm a freelance consultant.

What does this mean for you? A very simple and completely legitimate experience. There are no hidden fees, no hiring for you to do—and therefore no unions, salaries, or employee expenses—and you will receive only the highest quality work from me.

I'm available to work in the United States, Mexico, and the entire European Union.

High availability

Because I work for myself, my schedule allows me the flexibility to incorporate shorter projects of up to a few weeks. However, in order to maintain this flexibility, I cannot accept longer assignments as they will keep me from other projects.

Independent and objective

I chose Microsoft .NET because it is technologically advanced. Nothing is perfect, however, and because I am not tied to Microsoft I can best meet your needs without insisting on a Microsoft-only solution.
