Thank you for your interest in the talents I have to offer.

I have over eight years of experience in developing large scale Internet and Intranet applications. I have excellent HTML, DHTML, CSS, JavaScript, XML, XSL, Cold Fusion and PHP skills as well as a solid working knowledge of ASP, JSP and Java. I also possess graphic talent using Photoshop, Fireworks and Flash. I am experienced in using Windows, Linux and Solaris running Apache and IIS with Oracle or MySQL.

I have been recognized as a leader in my field by instituting code reviews for knowledge sharing, developing applications to aid programmers in the development process and by havening the honor of speaking on several occasions for the "New Orleans Cold Fusion Users Group" (NOCFUG) on the subjects of Cold Fusion Application Development, Applying Fuse Box Architecture and Dynamic HTML (DHTML).

Most recently, I held the Lead Developer/Project Manager position where I was responsible for gathering requirements, developing data modules, laying out graphic interface, encapsulating modules, writing code and team resource management. I over looked all aspects of the application and saw it through completion.

Professionally, I am goal oriented and approach tasks systemically with attention to detail. Doing the job right, keeping projects on track, avoiding "re-write", and documenting production are my personal goals in any project. I instinctively have a 100% attitude willing to go the extra mile to accommodate. I can also accept criticism easily for positive self-improvement. My jovial but professional personality makes me an enjoyable asset to work with.

My passion for computer programming goes far beyond a hobby or career choice. I take a personal level of ownership and pride in developing professional, high quality applications where I can strech possibilities and enjoy a greater level of accomplishment.

Once again I thank you for your time and interest in my skills and talents. I invite you to browse my online resume and portfolio for consideration in filling your company's personal needs.

Sincerely



Edward Foster
