After a year with a single client, I'm putting the emphasis back on growing a
broader based consulting business. So I'm seeking a greater variety of clients
for short and long-term work, preferably in the Bay Area but I'm open to
travel in many cases. Contact me if you're in need of the following:

     Programming, software and algorithm design,
     troubleshooting, and general consultation in all areas
     of real-time 3-D/VR on SGI and other high-end platforms;

     Extra emphasis on creative problem solving, performance
     optimization, animation, particle systems, robust/fast
     infrastructure, content development tools, user
     interfaces, and techniques for realizing the highest
     quality possible in real-time art and experience.

     Very in-depth knowledge of Performer and RE/IR optimization.
