Currently working as a Director of IT for a small company.
I have continuously worked in the Finance fields (Accounting & Investing). Got started with programing by accident in the Excel VBA macro language to automate tasks.
Started automating Accounting reports, systems, Invoice generation, Invoice auto-email and a lot of other small projects.
Migrated to AS3 in flash for a more pleasant user-interface to provide to clients. That led to getting Flash AS3 to talk with PHP for handling things server side and ultimately communication with MYSQL to store, edit and provide a link between Flash UI >> PHP processing >> MYSQL data storage to bring unique solutions to my clients.
