How I Can Help Your Organization To Meet Its Goals As Set By Management:

A good friend of mine, who has been involved in the Washington political/military arena for many years told me one time, "Richard, Build On What You Know". Your organization has been tasked with a project with specific deadlines, and hopefully, my skill set will help you meet those objectives in a timely manner. Should my experience not meet your needs exactly, I have spent so much time in my career as a contract consultant, that I will come up to speed expeditiously.
Starting from working with 80 character punched cards on a Univac 1005 to feed, cloth, pay, and provide TO&E personnel month end staffing reports to the senior staff at the 1st Armored Division, Mr Lang has moved forward, getting his business degree, working on large scale Univac equipment, converting to large scale IBM computer equipment. He has worked on a plethora of different industry applications such as Manufacturing, Shipping, Process Controllers, Insurance, Fund Accounting, Municipal Fund Accounting, and Leasing as well as other industries have provided him with a well rounded background.
As incredible as it may seem, due to the fact that Mr Lang worked working most of his career for profit driven organizations, large scale IBM mainframes were his main forte. All they way up until 1990, only 1 person was a dedicated resource to the analysis of the ubiquitous Internet in his division. However, with the advent of Windows 3.1, and a webmaster coming out to do a manual install of Windows on his 25 MHz computer, Mr Lang began his real indoctrination to the Internet. From Windows 3.1., to Windows Vista he followed the maturation of the Internet. With multiple industries experience behind him, software applications followed on.
