I am a Service Provider and that is exactly what I will do, create the program, app or website that does and is exactly what you need! I have 10+ years of experience with System Administration and maintenance, as well as web development using PHP, MySQL, HTML, and JavaScript. I am also experienced with making custom, cross-platform desktop applications tailored to my client's specific needs. For most of the last 5 years, I have used those skills professionally on the Elance platform and I am now transitioning to Upwork! My favorite thing about programming is that there is (almost) no limit to what you can do with it! I love working with clients to craft their perfect solution. I won't just "phone in" my contracts; if you tell me a bit about what you're trying to do I will happily offer suggestions to help you get the most out of your website or application and then help you implement the suggestions you like.
