About Me

... an experienced Perl programmer who prefers working with small clients on a budget or on short-mid term special projects.I do not oversell or push unnecessary work. I adapt to existing workflows. I will fix what you got, and work hard for my clients; understanding that hiring a programmer might seem like an unbearable expense. I have a track record of providing substantial value without breaking the bank.If that sounds like a good fit you, please reach out to me.
