A Macintosh programmer since 1986, I have over 10 years contracting experience, with a consistent track record of hitting the ground running and getting projects shipped on tight deadlines.

• Experience: Over 20 years C, over 8 years C++/STL/OOP, over 5 years Hypercard, Supercard, Scripting/XCMDs. Plus XML, Java, JavaScript, AppleScript, Obj-C, and more. Years of experience with both legacy code maintenance and startups.
• Porting: Extensive experience porting projects to the Macintosh.
• Audio: Senior programmer for SonicStudio-HD, Sonic's high-end audio editing application suite. Maintaining a multi-threaded project with a million lines of code. Inventor of AudioAssistedText.
• Video: Enhanced Commotion, a PhotoShop-like video editing/special effects application, using CodeWarrior PowerPlant. Added features to Hitchcock video editing multimedia application.
• Graphics: Ported PhotoShop Plugins in Metrowerks Power Plant, wrote Adobe Illustrator plugins. Author of KaleidoscoPix.
