Value Creation through Software Engineering

Mike SlinnI'm a software technologist with an electronics engineering background.

As an full-service contractor, I examine the client's current opportunities, challenges, strengths, competition and relevant technology available today.  I then look ahead at upcoming technology and contribute to a discussion of business and technical strategic options.

I collaborate with designers, provide and manage specialized subcontractors and have servers in a data center in Santa Clara, CA that are available for projects.

... and, yes, I write software myself.  For example, I recently developed an artificial personality plug-in for AI systems that models relationships.

Free Client Hosting

Active clients do not pay for development infrastructure, including IP addresses, bandwidth, shared server hosting, server backup, ssh login ids, Tomcat instances, Subversion, Trac or any other open source software. Certain restrictions apply.
