Michael P.

Full Stack Software Developer and Business Info Systems Professional

I've got many titles, but brain for hire, senior computer expert, security and business consultant seems to work best. This includes Artificial Intelligence (AI) based systems, and many common business applications. I specialize in all things technical. When I step into my developer's role, I utilize LAMP-based technology when I develop websites and business systems. I'm a native English speaker and a native US citizen. I have almost 4 decades of experience in technology, and I am accredited with a B.S. in MIS. Likewise, I've been Top Rated for over 4 years, and Top-Rated Plus for most of that 4 years. Full-time Freelancer, CIO, and a small business owner. I work on long-term, and short-term contracts. My longest clients have worked with me for three or more years. Over 90% of my clients would recommend me, and I'm extremely proud of my giant list of five-star reviews. I rarely seek clients, therefore, if I have contacted you, I am eager to gain further knowledge about your project and become a contributing member of it. **History** Almost forty years ago, my parents won a state-of-the-art Atari 800 computer as a door prize. What started as good fortune quickly turned into my obsession and career. Over the years, I've gained an impressive list of credentials. I consider ethics as part of my value. My Bachelor of Science is from the School of Business in Management Information Systems, and it came from R.I.T. Some of my favorite parts of the job are my roles as mentor, project manager, designer, coder and business consultant. I just love helping out. The great feedback I get lights me up and makes me more determined to work harder. I genuinely love this job. **Web Development/Software Developer** I've learned over fifty different scripting and computer programming languages. I highlight PHP, Laravel, CodeIgniter, MySQL, JavaScript, JQuery, HTML and CSS. I prefer external libraries and API's to save money. Not only that, however I work on WordPress, Shopify, Drupal and other CMS's. I'm proud of my knowledge of security, and I do software and database design right. You are welcome to ask questions, as I can't possibly put all my experiences here. I'm very adaptive and can do the entire job. I work on the obscure as well. Likewise, I provide references or examples on request. All work is performed under my business, Proper Programming, LLC. Unless otherwise specified by the client, I use GitHub Co-Pilot (Artificial Intelligent) and GitHub for all projects. Please read their Terms of Service for questions. **Artificial Intelligence** I can make AI work for your company. My experience is in the latest Large Language Models (LLM's), as well as all other machine learning systems. This includes capabilities and training the models. I can help businesses deploy this technology, and I also have an extensive understanding of other fuzzy logic-based systems. I'm providing overview business consulting, as well as training of the models. **Business Consultant** I consider your business needs in everything I do. I have both a B.S. in the school of business at RIT and extensive work experience providing business consulting. Helping businesses achieve their goals is my top priority, and a giant part of my job. Often times, my advice in this area is often what my customers find the most valuable, and I always look at all problems from the prospect of business. I am also proficient at working with non-technical people and getting the information they require. I'm also experienced in Software Quality and the System Development Lifecycle. I can improve software development processes, as well as business processes. My passion roots in the field of Information Systems, or how information is handled in businesses.
