Architect position for a local company. I was curious if you or anyone 
you know might have interest in exploring this opportunity? Thank you!

Our client is currently recruiting a Web Architect contractor. This 6 
month contract position will be reporting to the CTO and may lead to a 
full-time position.

assessment system to an Open Source-based, web delivery adaptive 
assessment system. The application coding has been going on for almost a 
year and scheduled to complete in early January.

IBM team members will be here through Mar-Apr timeframe when acceptance 
testing of their deliverables is scheduled to complete. A knowledge
