Hi, I'm Jim Conte

I build websites large and small, 
manage teams and technology,
and chase my muse.

My Dad really had a green thumb. One of our favorites from his garden is the "Hen and Chicks" like the one in this photograph.

Technology

I approach development from a team-oriented view, where security is integral, not an optional add-on.

Visual Arts

I take a creative approach to most things, but my visual arts projects are my favorite form of expression.

Career

I achieved my MBA to elevate my business perspective. More milestones are outlined in my LinkedIn Profile.
