Lyle Luppes has been developing applications for over 35 years now, starting on mainframes and AS/400’s at EDS, then moving to client-server and Windows applications, and then on to web and cloud-based development, building his first e-commerce web-site in 1997. After working at very large companies and very small consulting firms, he started his own business in 2000, doing just about everything from building servers to wiring networks to being the Database Administrator. He enjoys doing a wide variety of tasks, but likes pure creative development the best. Lyle has taught classes at corporations and at the college level and has mentored many developers along the way, and now that his kids are grown and out of the house, he’s looking for new opportunities to provide value to organizations and share what he has learned.
