Profile for Benson Portnoy

After spending approximately a decade in the stone age of information technology (we used to call it data processing) with languages such as COBOL and PL/1, I saw the light in 1989 and have used Magic/eDeveloper almost exclusively since that time. I started with version 2.0 and am now developing with 9.4, having used almost every version in between. I have yet to find a development product that is more productive than eDeveloper.

I have been self-employed as a consultant and software developer for 19 years with my own company - MagicPower Systems. During most of that time I have been a Magic VAR. I have had the good fortune to serve a wide variety of clients ranging from a 20,000 seat sports and entertainment arena to a major department store chain.

I am based in St. Louis, Missouri, but am open to opportunites from diverse locations. Please feel free to contact me.

Thanks to those in the Magic Community who have made resources like this Wiki and the Magic eGroup available.
