Great Talent

[Kari Chisholm]

PerlMongers:

I'm not usually one for sending out unsolicited references - but I've
got a young programmer here that would really be a find for someone.

Aaron Kilbey is a recent graduate in computer science here at Lewis &
Clark College. For the last two years, he's been working for me as a
student employee - basically doing backend programming for interactive
features on our site. Not only does Aaron really know his Perl, he's
also been very creative about user interface, communications strategies,
and database architecture. He's got good presentation skills to boot --
you'd be comfortable sending him in front of a client or customer. 

Lots of his work here at L&C is in the realm of password-protected sites
for specific audiences - but I'd be happy to provide access to anyone
who's interested.

See his resume below. Feel free to email me with questions or for more
info.
Thanks!
