David Edwards's Company Details

Desire contract work in software engineering development or implementation of Client/Server Applications. Interested in projects using object technologies as standalone and/or web applications with access to relational databases on both Windows/NT and Linux/UNIX. Ideally, I am interested in RubyOnRails (RoR) projects since re-engineering of RoR sites is my specialty now. Companies have rushed into RoR and then they have performance issues in production. I know how to solve these. And I am expert in performance monitoring, reporting, and other production issues. However, I am also interested in other projects in C and C++ on Linux. I have gone full circle with all the Web technologies. And I developed my personal MODPLAN MySql application with JSP, ASP, ASP.NET, PHP, and now RoR. I can demonstrate this application on the various environments. I work best from my Home Office Lab here in Houston where I would need to spend 90% of the time but with some onsite visits to gather and refine requirements and weekly Yahoo IM sessions. I have worked totally from here for my work for Verizon (Windows VPN and Linux SSH) and TEXAS4000 (GoToMyPC) the last 3 years. Verizon people and systems are all over the world. The TEXAS4000 people are in Austin and now the deployed system is in St. Louis.
