Resume ====== [Don Armstrong](http://www.donarmstrong.com/) [Phone contact information available via e-mail.] I am a practitioner of the art of solving problems as elegantly and practically 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 achieve their goals by removing or smoothing 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.
