Working Dog Worx was formed in January 2012 as my list of websites and computer-related favors was growing to the point where it was eating away at much of my personal time. Along with the websites, there were the many personal favors of computer assistance, cleanups, and instruction. As the requests piled up it became apparent that I needed to setup some servers and organize my favors into clients. Working Dog Worx was born.
The name is similar to a faux business name from an academic project, “Working Dog Programming”. I used the same sketch of my family’s first Komondor, Butch, drawn by our good friend Joe Martin. My husband Jimmy read somewhere that having an “X” in a business name was good luck.
The first client was our dog breed’s regional club website, Middle Atlantic States Komondor Club which focuses on Komondor Rescue. Later came the national breed club, Komondor Club of America, which I am also editor for the breed magazine, Komondor Komments. Today I design and host many business websites and applications on Windows and Linux servers, assisting from very basic hand-holding to more advanced users who manage their own site much of the time.
I am also a full stack developer and consultant with experience in VB.Net applications, Oracle, SQL Server, Access, and MySQL databases, JavaScript, JQuery, ASP, PHP, and more. I am currently studying XCode and Swift for iOS application development.
Have a great day and thank you for visiting!
