I'm an independent software engineer with a particular interest in web technologies (esp. JavaScript). I also do lots of work in C#, Java, and several other languages.

On occasion, I write up snippets of nifty tricks or techniques in my anemic little blog.

I've been doing this professionally for over 20 years, goofing with computers for 10 years before that, but I hope I'm not this guy.

I'm an independent contractor. If you have a bit of work you need done, and done properly, give me a shout at tj@crowdersoftware.com. Whether it's a couple of hours of sorting out a script, or a couple of months designing and implementing a new application or system for you, I can usually work you into my existing commitments as long as you're willing to share my time with others. (I don't currently have any exclusive availability.) My rates are reasonable, and of course, you have a good idea what you're getting if you browse the more than 4,000 answers I've provided on Stack Overflow.. :-)

I've had issues with the Stack Exchange management's curation of the network (particularly Stack Overflow, where I've been most active), including this idiocy and this, as well as everyday unreasoning obstinance — which have caused me to periodically curtail my contribution. I'm hopeful the change in management earlier this year will improve things.
