Services

I provide software development services throughout the country. The numerous programming languages, Operating systems, protocols, platforms, and environments I am proficient in are identified in the skills section, though this list is not exhaustive nor up to date, and I acquire proficiency in new architectures, languages, and tools easily. I prefer challenging projects with complex multi-disciplinary issues, or requiring learning new skills that other developers are unwilling to tackle. Where the scope of a project can be clearly delineated I prefer a fixed fee. You know what you will have to pay, and accomplishing that cost effectively is my problem.

I am a consultant, and DLA Systems is my business.
I am not looking for employment.
I apologize in advance to people who appreciate the difference.
You can stop reading now, and check out the rest of this website to determine if I am the right person for your job.
I get contacts from staffing companies and head hunters every day.
I have no problems working through or with other companies.
But I have spent a lot of time going over what the difference is between hiring DLA Systems as a consultant - which you can do, and hiring me as an employee.
So I have created a checklist.

I am a consultant, and DLA Systems is my business.

  • If this is W2 work, it is employment and I am not interested - no matter how high the rate is.

  • If this project involves relocation, I am not interested. I have an office that I designed, with big windows in many directions and views of the woods, and a stream.

  • I can be available for consultation with clients anywhere in the world they wish, at anytime. My clients have numerous means of contacting me and if it is truly urgent I am available 24x7. But I am not working out of a clients facility for 6 weeks to a year, checking in at 9 and out at 5, abiding by office polices - that is called employment - tacking consultant onto the name and reporting wages on a 1099 does not alter that.

  • I have clients not bosses. I treat my clients better than most employees treat their bosses, but my function is to listen to my clients needs and solve their problems.

  • If you are looking for a solution to a problem I am your man. If you are looking to increase your staff there are plenty of other competent people who would be happy to work for you.

If you are a staffing company, and can work within the constraints above, I would be happy to discuss your project further. You can find my resume as web pages and as downloadable word or PDF files elsewhere on this website.

I also provide IT design, implementation and troubleshooting services for small/medium businesses in the greater Lancaster area.
