Professional:
My previous job was working as a trouble-shooter and assistant web-master for Plantrol Systems Ltd. in Westfield. As assistant to the chief web-master, Jim Pratt, I did a great deal of intranet work behind the scenes on a number of important business form companies including Belknap Business Forms, Data Papers, Dupli-Systems, Fastforms, Gintzler, Printsouth, Vallis Champion, and Wardkraft among many others.
I'm currently working as a free-lance web designer. I hope to be hired by a new, growing company in the field of computers and information technology. My primary interests are artificial intelligence and robotics. I'm currently working on a paper that I hope to present at The 16th Annual Midwest Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science Conference in Dayton, Ohio.
