I'm a marine biologist and software/database developer with more than 30 years of experience. The past 20 years I have worked (in-situ) as software/database/web developer and data analyst (mainly fisheries-related data) for two international organizations (the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission, and the Food And Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, FAO/UN). I have extensive experience with several programming languages (including Fortran/Fortran 90, C/C#/C++, VB6, VB.NET, Borland/Embarcadero Delphi/Delphi XE, SAS, Java, S/S-PLUS/R, etc.), programming frameworks (.NET, ASP/ASP.NET/AJAX, Delphi-VCL, etc.), database systems (MS-SQL, Oracle, MySQL, MS-Access, Firebird, etc.) and operating systems (VAX/VMS, CPM/MPM, MS-DOS, all flavors of MS-Windows, and RedHat/Ubuntu/Kubuntu Linux). I also have extensive experience in fisheries, bycatches, as well as observer, data analysis.
