Hello my name is
Lynn R. Lively

I have over 30 years of experience in Data Processing, and have done Business, Systems, and Engineering applications. At various times I have acted in the capacity of Analyst, Project Leader, DP Center Manager, Manager of Software Development, Systems Administrator, Systems Programmer, Technical Support, Teacher, Technical Consultant, and Applications Programmer. Because of this I have a wide experience base to draw on when analyzing, designing, and implementing solutions to problems.

I am conversant in many computer languages, and am highly proficient in several, among them C, Basic, and COBOL. My most recent experiences have involved technologies such as Visual Basic, VBSCRIPT, Javascript, HTML, ASP, XML, and Borland C++ Builder. As a sidenote this document is written using HTML/DHTML and JavaScript, so if you want to see an example of my work just "View Source".

In addition to my work experiences I maintain a constant effort to remain current with prevailing technology. Pursuant to this effort I have owned several home computers since 1976 which I use to study new Techniques and Languages. I have also published several programs as Shareware and have many tool libraries published into the Public Domain.

I believe my wide range of experiences and versatility will allow me to become a valuable member of any endeavor I am associated with. I hope you will agree. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at the number shown below.
