Software Projects

I have been programming computers and designing software professionally since 1999. I'm competent in C, Objective-C, Perl, Java, PHP, and Unix scripting. I also have exprience in C++, Fortran, SML, Applescript, Windows batch scripting, and Flash Actionscript. I know how to design user interfaces and workflows that are clear, simple, and functional.

I'm not a graphics designer, but I have produced graphics and stylesheets for my own projects. Sometimes they're good enough to keep, and other times they act as placeholders and are later replaced by graphics from a profesional designer.

Competitors like Blue Mountain and American Greetings offered free electronic greetings and earned revenue from banner ads on their websites. Hallmark charges for their e-cards like GreetMe did. GreetMe.com had high quality cards and was the first to offer cards that allowed the customer to insert their own photos into the cards. I developed that software using Adobe Flash, Perl, and ImageMagick.
