a web resume'
I'm slightly famous it seems ... at least in Thailand... (phoot thai mai dai.) ## Summary I enjoy creating popular, somewhat edgy web sites (particularly when the checks clear). I have three (3) years of experience designing and building web sites that are backed mostly by SQL relational databases (and the occasional flat FoxPro legacy data). ## Objectives Make money. Build elegant clean-flowing sites popular enough that multiple mirrors and Oracle-grade databases are required to meet the demand. Be happy. Comprehend the ephemeral holistic totality while fashioning these happy, popular money-making modern Taj Mahal's. Become. Be. Make other peoples more money than they can spend. Suggest they give the surplus to me. Raise an eye-brow at odd writing style. ## Hobbies Racket-ball. Reading. Writing Fiction, Philosophy, Poetry. Theoretical extrapolation of physics & future technologies. Feeding my cat. Watching grass grow (seriously -- time-lapsed photography). Listening to a wide range of music, including old Edison wax cylinders. Convincing people to stop smoking around me before A) I start again B) I gently `strangle them to death` C) Both.
## Languages (and skills) ColdFusion C (Borland, Visual, GNU, Watcom) Visual Basic C++ (Borland, Visual) COBOL FORTRAN Pascal VBScript JavaScript Java DHTML HTML CSS Perl Assembly & Machine (6502/6809/Z80/x86) Adobe Photoshop Paintshop Pro GIMP Adobe Illustrator Povray Lightwave | ## Operating Systems Windows NT Win 95 Win 3.1 Linux (Red Hat/Slackware) MacOS VAX/VMS ## Database SQL 92 ODBC Access Oracle FoxPro ## Web Servers Apache 1.3.3+ Netscape IIS Website Pro
## Education Walters State Community College, Computer Science, A.S. Tennessee Technological University, Approximately one (1) year Electrical Engineering Tennessee Technological University, And approximately three (3) years English (after deciding Aerospace Engineering was not for me) ## Currently Currently I'm not for hire. I'm going to be very busy doing low-level network and cryptology programming for the next three years, but as to what I'm doing... I'm not allowed to say.

## Past Projects (or What I've Built Before) Perusal of the development server where all these projects still dwell is available on request.*
| `Sprint Canada (Extranet)`
Can't say much. NDA and all that. Involved in various windows-based C/C++ interfaces/tools and their CF/SQL-driven extranet counterparts.
| `JavaScripts.com`
The most commercially popular web-based project I've created to date, it was originally the home site of Click here! The Internet Company, a group I'd been doing occasional contract work for. Based on specs by the owner, I made it into a thriving little JavaScript support community. Created in the spring of 1997 it was my first CF-based project and the source of quite a lot of fun, publicity and of course constant irritation and harassment by it's needy users. In a short period of the time the little community was not so little anymore, bringing the servers constantly to their knees under the heavy load. It was sold off to EarthWeb in late 1998 after the owners left the Internet field. `[Contract job & Labour of love. Created site based on proposed outline. ColdFusion, SQL, HTML, JavaScript, Misc. graphics & Humourous writings, etc.]`
| `FatCow Web Hosting`
Moo. FatCow Web Hosting, L.L.C. was a web hosting company created by the marriage of a New Mexico insurance company and Click here! the Internet Company. Making use of cattle motifs and herd humour they intended to corral the power-hungry lower end of the volatile web hosting market. They currently operate under a different name and (smartly) a different operating system using different tools. Birth is often painful, but the start of the learning process. `[Contract job. Most front-end and network-centric programming. HTML and Misc. graphics. Humourous writing]`
| `To Life!`
To Life! was a start-up company staffed by experienced professionals in the area of preventative health care. In other words, they sold vitamins and herbs. Their site was still online until just recently, but apparently has since been discontinued or changed names. `[Contract job. Created site based on proposed outline. HTML, JavaScript, Misc. graphics.]`
| `Classic Limousines`
Classic Limo was a speciality limousine service offering an assorted of vehicles suited for both presentation and armored security. The site has either been discontinued or changed names. `[Contract job. Created site based on proposed outline. HTML, JavaScript, Misc. graphics.]`
| `City of Aliso Viejo`
The planned City of Aliso Viejo of California decided to put a combination community bulletin board and real estate site up on the internet. Using ColdFusion CGI and JavaScript I built a full automated site for use both by residents and prospective buyers. The site has apparently been stripped of it's CGI by current in-house webmasters, but otherwise retains most of the original functionality. `[Contract job. Created site based on proposed outline. HTML, JavaScript, Misc. graphics.]`
| `Pacific Bay Homes`
In many ways a clone of the Aliso Viejo site but with a stronger emphasis on real-estate, the Pacific Bay Homes site provided an interactive avenue to browse available houses and neighbors on-line. `[Contract job. Created site based on proposed outline. HTML, JavaScript, Misc. graphics.]`
| `Calcomp Technology, Inc.`
Makers of digital tablets, Calcomp Technology had some rather demanding compatibility issues as far as the site went. When it came to the design, they couldn't make their minds up to save their lives. Nevertheless, they were fun to work with and, in slightly modified format, this site probably wins an award for having been the longest lived of any site I have yet created -- at least a year and a half or more. `[Contract job. Created site based on proposed outline. HTML, JavaScript, Misc. graphics.]`
| `CTX New Computer Install`
New at the time, the CTX Computer Division needed a special MSIE-based form that would appear when the new computer users first turned on their systems. A form that would collect their user data, call up a 1-800 number, register the data then never be seen again. CTX was provided with a ColdFusion/SQL solution to peruse their new computer registration database live. `[Contract job. Created site based on proposed outline. HTML, CF, JavaScript, ActiveX, Misc. graphics.]`
| `American Tech`
Commerce site for a computer systems and parts reseller. `[Contract job. Finished CF/HTML when original contracter left for full-time job.]`
| `Auction Mart`
A small-scale computer parts auction house pitched as similar to eBay. `[Contract job. Finished CF/HTML when original contracter left for full-time job.]`
| `The JavaScript Writers Guild`
The JavaScript Writers Guild is essentially defunct these days, though it may very well resurface in a modified form. THIS was the site that inspired javascripts.com, and was companion for a while to the HTML Guild.
| `Fred Saberhagen's Worlds of SF and Fantasy`
I'm a long-time fan. What else is there to say? Was happy to do mock-ups and cover scans for them pro bono. Partially because they gave me autographed copies of every book Fred had written.
| `Intrafoundation`
My professional web site, home of Intrafoundation. Currently developing control software for ISP's as well as straight e-commerce and identity web sites.
*Excluding any web-related NDAs ## Money I generally start paying attention to people trying to hire me when the figures reach the $4-5kUS per month mark. But please keep talking as long as you want on this subject.... ## Re-Location No. Nope. Nein. I'm quite happy where I'm living at the moment. I strongly prefer contract virtual (off-site) work. Ie, getting paid NY or CA rates while living somewhere where rent & food are reasonable. `sincerely,` --Lewis Sellers (aka "Min") |
