I am working on a funded project for government emergency response management in the united states. There is an early open source version of this, http://www.mapimage.com/openaddress.org/. It is derived from MapServer and MapTools software.

I have contributed a MapServer integration project to the Apache Portals project. The source code is here, http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/portals/bridges/trunk/mapserver. The documentation is here, http://wiki.apache.org/portals/MapServerPortlet.

I studied general geology and computer science leading me to a career as a independent consultant. My products include portals, internet mapping apps, xml utilities, database tools, development and compile platforms derived primarily from Apache projects.

The Java platform is my preferred development environment although I am also a competent database and Linux system administrator. I have been programming in Java for 8 years and have been working with open source software for 5 years.
