My name is John Aldrich. I have pursued programming as a hobby for the past 6 years and currently have experience in Perl (basic / intermediate), HTML (advanced), and I have recently begun to learn C/C++. I also have a profound interest in all things graphics related and and constantly working to improve my knowledge in all areas of computing. I run a home based web software company named Professional Design Resources. If you are interested in any custom programming or would be interested in collaberating on a joint project, please feel free to contact me via email, where I'll be happy to discuss such things. Serious projects only please.
