Expertise

I can answer questions on what shareware and freeware to use for projects of any kind, and where you can find it. I've worked with several types of Shareware/Freeware software including SplashUp, Zoho, Google, Audacity, Pligg, and many others on various projects and environments both web-based and on the desktop. So if you need help with working in one of these environments I am willing to give a hand. Also, I've worked in developing some freeware software in Flash and ActionScript in case there is a need.

Experience in the area

I've worked on several projects where I used Shareware/Freeware software as my source for programming, graphics, 3D, video/audio engineering, and for web-based development as well.
