I do! The comments are simply not public. Everyone is welcome to privately comment or ask about anything here.🔒
As I’ve noted, much of the material here is actually excerpted from my personal journal(s). If you’ve been reading along, thank you. I sincerely appreciate your time and attention.
If something really resonates with you, please take the extra minute to simply let me know. 🔒. Or you can send me an SMS, or call me directly. I definitely look forward to making new ‘net acquaintances, and I will make an effort to get back with you at the earliest convenience. Please see also my social media policy.
I am sincerely honored that you woud ask for it—thank you. Soon, this site will allow you to indicate whatever specific technologies, skill-sets, industries, and projects match your interests. After making your selections, you can then generate a relevant version of my résumé without having to ask me personally.
Currently, I have PDF, HTML, TXT, and some other formats readily available. You might want to be aware though, that “hackers” like me tend to avoid using Microsoft Word. Consider the possibility that requiring a Word format is not likely to attract the type of candidate you might be looking for.
I can understand why you might feel that way. I myself don’t appreciate arrogance, and to my mind, a person’s self-proclamation of skill or talent does not make any sense.

Please, reach out to people who know me well and/or who have worked with me at length, and please ask them what they think.
Nearly everyone in business starts their business because they feel they can offer a product or service better than others on the market. I generally won’t tell you my own thoughts about my services (because I believe self-referencing is stupid), but I would be grateful for a fair opportunity to let you be my boss, and be the judge. I will gladly point you to Clients whose projects were very similar to yours.
I’m also careful to use only best-in-class and best-fit products, as proven in my lab. So I’m proud and honored to integrate only solutions that I’ve vetted and qualified (for specific scenarios) from Apple, Xerox, RedHat, Microsoft, IBM, Google, and AWS.
Thanks for asking. I no longer offer work at an hourly rate. If you have a project, I would welcome an opportunity to better understand your technology ecosystem, and then propose an estimate to completely deliver your vision.
Over 30+ years, I’ve come to believe the non-hourly approach will get you much better results, faster, and at a lower “bottom-line” cost overall. Think about it, and if you’d like to explore that idea, please reach out to us know some of your targets. 🔒
