My name is Cenay Nailor, and I am seeking organizations who want the benefit of 20+ years experience "on tap", without the overhead of a full-time salary. I love exercising my creative problem solving skills, and using my user-friendly programming style to bring concrete solutions to a company or client that appreciates improved productivity, lowered costs and better reporting.

I have been focusing on the web development side of the programming world and have created database driven web-applications that allow user input, update and saves across the world wide web. Continuing to manage clients that were previously Priority's (Jay passed away in July 2007) in the business development world using Delphi, Access, and ASP technologies.

This list of "skills" and "experience" doesn't tell the entire story. For me, developing custom solutions isn't a "job", it's a calling. I love what I do, and as a result, do it well. When there are no "active" projects (a rare event, but it does happen from time to time), I spend my time honing new skills, discovering new technologies and possible ways to implement them. There is nothing so exciting as getting a new tool to try out and master. Web development is like that for me. I have just discovered Dreamweaver and ASP technologies (I know I am behind the curve, but I have been busy!) and recently built a web-site devoted to my grand children. You can see my first attempt at web-site design here.... Grandkids.

I am also working with Jay Boisseau (listed as the current position above) on a new company web-site for Software That Rocks, a joint venture between he and I. I expect to be fully "web-savvy" shortly.
