My
Portfolio
Once I discovered the Internet in
1988, (I was just entering the doctorate programme at York University),
I spent the next seven years learning everything I could about the Internet
and computers in general. It wasn't until 1994-5 that I actually started
working as a computer consultant with a special interest in developing
databases and websites to enhance the productivity and marketability
of the small and medium sized business.
Since then I have worked for a lot of different companies
in a wide variety of industries. In a majority of the cases, the company
was not computerized at all, or was way behind in terms of equipment
and software. In the process, I have become quite adept at starting
from scratch and not only making the business more efficient and competitive,
but capable of taking advantage of a technology that has revolutionized
the way we do business.
While I have helped to sell a variety of products like
desk pads, office accessories, wayfinding or signage products, window
blinds and shutters, anti-shoplifting devices, plumbing supplies, and
plastic hdpe pipe, I am more familiar with the plastics and process
industries. I have extensive experience with writing original content
for process equipment like chillers, heat exchangers, steam traps, and
bulk material handling equipment from granulators to dryers and blenders.
Below is a short list of the most recent companies that
I have worked for and a brief description of the projects that were
completed.
