Elevator Pitch:
For four years I worked for 2,000-employee software companies doing development, consulting, and final-tier application support. Since then, I've done ~25 freelance projects—everything from web development to a USB device driver. I've usually done my own requirements gathering, dba, sysadmin, and customer support.
