Don Armstrong don@donarmstrong.com http://www.donarmstrong.com [Phone contact information available via e-mail.]   Why Me? I am a practitioner of the art of solving problems as elegantly and pratically as possible. I seek to enhance my abilities to solve problems in the digital realm by learning (and inventing where appropriate) new methods and techniques, and to help others acheive their goals by removing or smothing over ponderous obstacles in their path. If you have difficult problems for which a digital approach seems appropriate, I'm the person to talk to to find a solution. I'm currently looking for a opportunity to flex my skills in either full-time or on a contract basis (W2/1099 Ok), and will entertain all serious proposals.   Education: Doctor of Philosophy in Cell, Molecular and Developmental Biology currently in progress at UC Riverside.
