My portfolio and CV are currently being compiled from over 20 years of web development experience — starting with Classic ASP and VBScript, evolving through ASP.NET, C#, IIS, databases, APIs, front-end chaos, server wrangling, design tooling, late-night debugging, and the occasional sacred ritual of asking “who changed this connection string?”
