"Create Design" means the creative (or Graphics) design phase of a project development.

For example, a technology like Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator would be used to create the graphics assets of a website, mobile application or web applications. It could be anything from the proofs of the designs to the icons of a favicon, etc.

Even though I do not consider myself a creative designer, I have done a very good job at creative design proofs for mobile & web applications, business cards, etc. In fact, my experience across all business tiers of a modern web or mobile application is why I can offer such affordable rates and provide so much support.

"Client-Side" means the client side (or front end) development phase of a given project.

For example, technologies such as HTML5, CSS, Javascript, jQuery and even AngularJS are used to prettify and develop the end user facing "view" of the page or user interface of a particular location within a project (i.e. the contact form of a website, the pretty popup box that presents a message to the end user, an MVC view, etc).

I have over 15 years experience with client-side technologies, using the said above technologies and many more.

"Server-Side" means the server side (or back end) development phase of a given project.

For example, technologies such as Asp.NET, Java, LINQ, Entity Framework, PHP, and even Python are used to develop the sophisticated middle-tier aspect, often handling the connectivity of databases, security (such as data validation and SSL), handling processing and much more!

I have over 13 years experience with server-side technologies, using the said above technologies and many more. Conversely, my primary server-side technology of choice is Asp.NET 2.0-Core over any other server-side technology, due to my in-depth experience in Microsoft technologies. In fact, my experience across all business tiers of a modern web or mobile application is why I can offer such affordable rates and provide so much support.

"Database-Side" means the database side (or data store) development phase of a given project.

For example, technologies such as SQL Server, Oracle, MySql & CouchDB are examples of Databases or Data Stores. The Cloud is considered a type of Data Store. Server-side technologies such as Asp.NET, Java, LINQ, Entity Framework, PHP, and even Python are used to talk back and forth to databases, getting and storing data as the Applicaitons or Web APIs communicate with the database(s), often handling the connectivity of databases. However, Client-Side to Server-Side technologies such as JavaScript, jQuery, Angular, React, Knockout and even straight JSON are also used to communicate with the same kind of Data Stores.

I have over 10 years experience with database-side technologies, using the said above technologies and many more. Conversely, my primary database-side technology of choice is Microsoft's SQL Server or more lightweight Azure SQL database, due to my in-depth knowledge in Microsoft based Client-Side, Server-Side & Cloud based services.

"Solution Architect" is a form of technology administrator that is extremely hands-on with the project, but can also work closely with stakeholders and team leads to develop the entire project.

For example, a Solution Architect should be able to drum up a set of requirements, and execute on those items by not only architecting how the business tiers come to be, but know a significant About of technologies involved, and can co-develop the project too!

I have over 10 years as a Solution Architect. In fact, my experience across all business tiers of a modern web or mobile application is why I can offer such affordable rates and provide so much support as a Solution Architect.
