Active on the Internet since the mid-1990s. Deep technical understanding of most Internet protocols, including underlying sockets programming. See my PSPSOCK ISeries sockets framework and Sockets Overview for ISeries IT managers. Those are on ISeries platform. Also see my Java-based web site monitoring service which includes sockets programming to support HTTP/HTTPS protocols

Owner of several valuable domain names. Ongoing tracking of 'domain monetisation' options. In total my 15 Web sites get about 30,000 visits per day. See my top-level company site prosperoassociates.com. Good familiarity with multilingual web sites - in particular in Chinese, Japanese, Arabic and German. In-depth use of Google AdSense and AdWords programmes.

Hands-on development of all these sites using C/C++ then Java. First on ISeries then on Linux (initially RedHat, now CentOS). Through JDBC, familiar with DB2 and PostgreSQL databases. Large own sites - total about 250,000 lines of OO code - inevitably required careful considerations of development paradigms (MVC, frameworks, patterns etc.) and development platforms (workbenches such as Eclipse, ANT, multi-machine testing and deployment etc.).

Increasingly outsourced web site development and multilingual issues to partners via the Internet. Very comfortable with how to manage these relationships.

Main development environment is open-source (primarily Java Tomcat, Linux and PostgreSQL). Knowledgeable on other major technologies in this area - Javascript, J2EE, PHP etc. Some knowledge of proprietary Microsoft technology (.NET).
