A Brief Autobiographical Sketch of Fred Koschara:

I am a creative, ambitious entrepreneur, with an interest in a wide variety of fields. My primary objective is to build a privately funded space program, move off-planet, and make money in the process. However, I have not found a way to finance going right into that project and still cover my current expenses. Consequently, I've worked at a lot of "temporary" jobs and delved into a number of other efforts with the intent of building enough income to support my ultimate endeavor. This site contains links to some of the more active ones.

My employment background, while primarily centered on [computer] software and hardware development, is highly diversified and delves into many other fields. I have extensive experience in Windows software development, with concentrations in user interface and experience (look and feel, usability, etc.), multi-threading and graphics. I also have done a lot of Web development work (as of July 2009, I personally own 72 domain names), nearly all of which has been done using PHP/MySQL with Apache under Linux and FreeBSD, with some server code development done in C++. I am also conversant in Perl, JavaScript and 'nix scripting languages, and have several years of experience operating and administering a FreeBSD-based server (Web, Sendmail, FTP, DNS). I keep a (fairly) current copy of my resume on the Web at http://wfredk.com/?/bio/resume.php which contains a more complete picture of my experience in the computer industry. I have a Web code sample posted that I developed while applying for a job, along with the specification for the project.

I am also an avid photographer, and two of my current Web sites (http://PhotoByFred.com and http://LimitedEditionPhoto.com) are geared toward capitalizing on my work. (Two more related sites are now in early production.)
