[About Myself]
I am a self taught, well motivate individual who has strong backgrounds in both web

Corel, Nortel Networks, 3NetMedia and ZIM Technologies I have gain invaluable
experience in web design, network infrastructure, packaging and deployment,
graphic design, application development, database administration, team
management, purchasing, marketing and many more. I have become accustom to
being the person that people rely on.
