      Back office software applications and databases are what makes today's world go around. Still working with Joe and team in a consulting role to businesses that have moved beyond online sales into full system automation and productivity work flow needs. I joined this incredibly fast growing company in 2002 and immediately created and helped manage a data warehouse for them as they took their loan portfolio from $5bil to $15bil in 6 years. I am still contracting with them and improving this database for them as they identify ways to improve their cash flow and manage their bond portfolios.

      Independent Contractor

      ECommerce consultant and data analyst with web B2B and B2C production integration. I like the interaction with the small business online sales struggles and SEO and seeing an already successful business model leverage the web to get a sometimes exponential growth. Generally I use WordPress and a template package like THESIS or X. WooCommerce integration is fairly normal with the ability to work with any plugins available. The technology is something I do, the business growth is something that excites me. This is my gig. My job is database management and data engineering/warehousing. After all, its all in the data.
