I've been a computer geek for 20 years now. I have a BS and MS in Comp Sci from Wayne State University - Detroit Michigan. My Thesis involved using Computer Vision combined with Genetic Algorithms, entitled: A Method for the Optimization of Feature Selection in Optical Character Recognition.
I also received an MBA from The Univerity of Michigan. I've worked in a number of companies from small (20-25 people) to extremely large (300K) in all sorts of applications - computer vision, plant floor applications, developed a content management system, and now SharePoint/InfoPath. I've lived UNIX, Windows and OS/2, C, C++, Java, C#, pretty much all the major DBMSs.
