About Joe

Owner of a custom software development shop that does full life-cycle development. With over 30 years experience in software development, I have done a diversity of projects that have spanned the range from the single developer application for small companies, to lead developer and product development manager for large commercial applications for schools and municipalities. Following are a few of the different areas I have written or helped write software for: recruiting, manufacturing, accounting, personnel, QA, training, and marketing. I am currently working on a cloud-based system with integrated CRM, project management and time tracking functionality. This product, StrategicRM (strategicrm.com) is available.

Walling Info Systems LLC

May 2002 - December 2016

Provide software development and IT consulting services to help businesses run their shops more efficiently. This consulting might involve going into a development shop and showing them how they can develop more stable software more efficiently, or it might mean developing the software for another company. I am responsible for business development and overall development management in addition to doing the architecture and development for the various projects. The most recent projects have been using C# and the ASP.NET MVC framework and Entity Framework, with SQL Server as the database. It has also required using JQuery, JavaScript, and HTML 5 using a responsive layout with Bootstrap so that the same applications can be used on a computer, tablet, or desktop. This type of development gives you a good bang for your buck. Especially since having a mobile friendly site is so important.
