About
Walter Sargent has been providing independent internet/software development services since 2002. He is an experienced technical officer, manager, software developer, graphic artist, data/systems analyst and "creative".
Currently, he is involved with a startup in the online education industry. His role is to provide web project management and technical leadership.
Walter has been writing software professionally since 1996. He began his career writing utilities for Windows with a group that competed successfully against Symantec in the highly competitive PC utilities market. They were bought by McAfee in 1998 and later became the McAfee Retail Software Division. In this time, he became very proficient with Windows API programming. He wrote multithreaded, localized, data-driven, headless applications with skinnable front-ends and was the lead UI developer for several desktop client applications, including an Internet security application called "GuardDog™"
From there, Walter went to an early-stage company in the telecommunications industry, where he was responsible for the development of several core product components. Windows API programming (C++) is very desirable in performance-intensive ISAPI applications. He worked with XML and VB and claims to be a big fan of XML.
Walter holds a Bachelors of Science in Electrical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and has graduate course work in software engineering from Polytechnic University.
