About Me

My name is Max Stocker and I have been working in back-end web development, portal development, intranet application development and database administration and management since 1996.

I am now primarily a senior J2EE developer and architect. My current title at my full-time position is Application Architect. However I continue to work with other languages and technologies and provide hosting services to some clients. A brief outline of my experience

Back end web development in PHP, ASP, ASP.NET and Perl and database design and development primarily with MySQL and MS SQL-Server since 2000.
I am a SCJP (Sun Certified Java Programmer) who has been working with Java since 1999. A great deal of experience with JDBC related software, including driver writing and some experience with Applet development. I am now more focused on J2EE than other Java development.
Since 2004 I have also been managing and running my own web hosting company where I host websites, databases and email services for a number of clients on Linux, mainly RHEL, platforms.
