I am the Web Programmer for the Information Technology Department at Bowdoin College. I arrived at Bowdoin from Salisbury University in Salisbury, Maryland where I was Web Developer for the Web Office. Prior to that I was the Web Coordinator for the University of Wyoming Libraries in Laramie, Wyoming.
I got my start in Web programming while working as the Editorial Specialist at the Indiana University Mathematics Journal. When I began work there, the IUMJ was just preparing to launch a Web version of its journal. My boss immediately began buying textbooks on the (then) latest Web technologies and told me to start building! Some of the technologies I learned included Java, JavaScript, Perl, and SQL. When I moved to Wyoming, I was able to take a number of courses in computer science that helped me develop my programming skills. At Salisbury University, I made my first inroads into Microsoft technologies and started developing in Visual Basic and VBScript.
At Bowdoin, I have had the opportunity to use all the skills I have learned to develop a variety of applications. I have particularly enjoyed making use of XML in all its many forms. For a sampling of some of the projects I have worked on here, please visit the Projects section of this site.
