I am Web Developer with a strong interest in Web-based Training (WBT), and in eLearning in general. In today's global environment, it can be more cost-effective and efficient to deliver training over the Web. My most recent assignments have been to develop WBT - I really enjoyed these assignments, and I am looking for a new WBT and/or eLearning-related position.
NOTE: to those of you reading this throughout the world - I have worked on assignments with people from outside the US; and can work from home, so please don't let geography be an obstacle to considering me for a position.
