More than 25 years experience with full stack database development. Lots of experience with various scientific applications, including a table-based hydrostatics calculator, and a Sudoku solver that can solve any standard Sudoku puzzle and identify the difficulty level from a scale of 1 to 5. I've also been studying web design for about 2 years. I also excel at all levels of math and I am unstoppable when it comes to applying logic to the creation and assessment of possible alternatives to solve a problem. I love writing code and learning new programming languages and software, and I learn them quickly. I believe that my levels of enthusiasm and natural talent are enough to offset virtually any amount of learning curve.
