I work with individuals, communities, groups and organizations, supporting them in understanding, choosing and using appropriate and affordable computer and network technologies. I bring to this work fourteen years of diverse technology experience in industry and academia.

My services include:

• Teaching, Tutoring and Mentoring - designed-to-order classes, workshops and seminars for groups and organizations and one-on-one mentoring for individuals.
• Information Technology Consulting - assistance with choosing, configuring and using diverse software, hardware, network technology and related systems.
• Web application and site design and development - specializing in Web Standards based projects using the Zope web application platform, the Plone content management system and the python programming language.
  • My Plone-based work includes the Hawai'i County Resource Center (a County government portal and online information resource), Puna Kamali'i Flowers (a multi-faceted local small business) and Ohana Ho'opakele and Know Your Farmer Alliance (local non-profit and grassroots organizations respectively).
  • Samples of my Zope-based work include Friends of the South Fork Kings (a watershed non-profit), Growing Through It (an arts/empowerment non-profit), and Karuna Arts (a local small business) and this site.
  • Samples of sites I maintain and enhance that are not Zope or Plone-based (yet!) include American River Watershed Group (a watershed non-profit), Castleblock (a distributor of alternative building materials) and Punaweb (a regional/community portal site).
  • I also offer customized issue tracker development (trouble ticket systems, bug trackers, etc.) based on the Roundup project.
• Software Testing - I am an experienced consultant and contractor in the field of software quality assurance and testing.
• Hosting services (in collaboration with Arashi Enterprises) - we offer small and medium scale, open-source web, e-mail and mailing list hosting services for individual, grassroots, non-profit and corporate clients, including affordable Zope and Plone hosting. Details available on request.

• Are enabling and empowering for the people using them.
• Favor freely available, community-created and supported open source software and non-proprietary, open standards systems.
• Maximize accessibility for those with limited technological means and/or particular physical needs.
• Re-use and recycle existing equipment and technology as much as possible.
