My goal: enabling as many people as possible to be authors of the web.

To make this happen, I have specialized in making it as easy as possible for groups of people to collaborate via the web.

Direct·Edit is my collection of custom tools to allow any member of a web community to post and edit information directly from their browser. No HTML, or any web experience, is required. Administrators manage the behind-the-scenes details via their browser as well. The result: easy and secure collaboration.

In addition, all my sites are developed from completely hand-coded templates for fast loading and easy maintenance.

· Dynamic HTML
· Javascript
· Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
· CGI Programming
· Perl
· Server Side Includes (SSI)
· Client-side Databases
· MySQL Server Databases (SQL)
· Secure Server (SSL)
· Custom User Authentication Schemes (SQL)
· Unix

· Graphic Design
· Computer Illustration
· Digital Photography
· Adobe Photoshop

I invented the Microsoft Wizards^TM concept for which I won PC/Computing's "Software Innovation of the Year" and received a U.S. Patent.

I also worked on design and development of Microsoft Publisher 1.0, which became the world's top-selling Desktop Publishing software in this first version.

I co-lead the design and development of Microsoft's Social User Interface as well as Microsoft's first interactive multimedia CD-ROM product.

I was awarded Microsoft's "Leonardo da Vinci Award" for Innovation, and I hold three software patents.
