Founder & Lead Developer - Michael Le Blanc

Originally from upstate New York, now residing in the Tampa Bay area. Graduated from SUNY Oswego earning a Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science with a core concentrate in Business. Since moving to Florida in 1991, he has worked for a number of companies doing a range of programming on an even larger range of platforms. In 1996, he made the jump from the large iron to PC development. Current programming skill sets include: Visual Basic, Active Server Pages, HTML, and database development. An old employer of his had a saying.. "Michael doesn't let grass grow under his feet", and that holds as true today as it did back then.

The Iron(FE)-Works strives to come up with useful tools and web site creations that not only function to specification, but serve a desired need. Most of the applications we have come up with have come about due to personal want and/or need. Ever sit there and think to yourself "You know.. it'd be great if I had a program that would..."? Well, that is exactly what we do every day! We believe that "programmer types" are inherently lazy; and would much rather create a program to do a repetitive job for them instead of having to do it themselves. This, by no means, is a bad thing! The code we write today, could very well be the code that saves us a ton of time tomorrow!

Our web based applications follow similar "rules". Whether it's online application processing, gaming sites, or personal interest sites; it doesn't matter. We want our sites to be information rich as well as pleasing to the eye. Flash and glitz are great, but if your customer/visitor walks away from your site with nothing other than residual flashes on their retinas, we haven't done our job!

This is the simple one... We like what we do! There is nothing more gratifying than taking a product from start to finish and being able to say "See that? We did that." So many times in your daily grind job, you never have that opportunity; that is what drives Iron(FE)-Works to do what we do. Personal satisfaction in a job well done; is there anything else?
