Work - CV of James "Newt" Perdue

Summary - I enjoy doing software development and multimedia productions using the internet or DVD/CDROM media. I specialize in data-intensive types of projects where there is a lot of content to collect, organize, manipulate and browse. Often, I've created my own content. I enjoy the entire process, from concept to final production. Several of my commercial CD-ROM titles were done entirely by myself, including all design, artwork, photography and programming. I'm willing to convert projects between media (from CDROM to Internet for instance), or to update older programs. Currently, I'm interested in continuing to improve my professional photographic skills. I especially enjoy wildlife and landscape photography. I'm also doing a lot of digital panoramic photography using state of the art cameras, such as the Canon Canon 6D, 70D, EOS- 1Ds and Canon 2Ti with Canon 500 IS lens.

What I do: Web Database programming, web-based office management software development, Multimedia Programming, including HTML/javascript web programming, SQL Web databases, FLASH web user interfaces, Director CD programs,, applets, esp. for education market. Editing for Engineering Books, including web-based question/answer processing. Photography, work for hire, landscape, product or people photography. Hi-res Mural or Panorama photography is a speciality. I also do Educational content proofing, PowerPoint presentations, QA, testing of web or CDROM programs, data entry, web research.
