Well, my 2 year stint for a major health related company is up. I am now officially on the market.
MetagraFix is my professional industry site and that is as good a place as any to start hocking my wares. There you can see my resume as well as my portfolio.
I have much more to show but due to contractual obligations and non-disclosure agreements, it would not be ethical or even legal to let the entire web catch a glimpse. Please contact me.
