About Mat-Su Valley Programming

Now open in March, 2011: Mat-Su Valley Programming provides computer programming, website design, and website hosting services for Alaska's Mat-Su Valley region, including Wasilla, Palmer, Talkeetna, and other locations in the valley. Who knows, we might also follow interesting projects to other areas like Fairbanks in the north, and Anchorage, Seward, Homer, and other Alaska cities to the south.

Mat-Su Valley Programming currently consists of one person, Alvin Alexander, but I think I have a good track record. Among other things, I've created very popular websites like devdaily.com, which gets millions of page views; I've led multi-million dollar software projects; and I founded and then sold a 15-person software development and web hosting company in Louisville, Kentucky.

I moved to Alaska in 2010, and after building my own websites and surviving my first winter here, I'm ready to build some great software for my clients.

Mission #1

The first mission of our company is very simple: Work with our customers to solve business problems. If you think a new website or software app can help you make money, save money, or even launch a new business, contact us for a free consultation.

Mission #2

Our second mission is also clear: Provide affordable computer programming and website design training to Alaska students. In many ways computer programming and website design is a great equalizer -- you can learn it anywhere, you can work anywhere, and these skills can help lead to rich and rewarding careers.

Contact

I don't have business cards just yet, but I'm always glad to meet with potential new clients. Please use the phone number shown at the bottom of the page or my contact form if you'd like to set up a free initial meeting. If I can help you, I'll let you know, and if for some reason I can't, I'll let you know that, too.

The Mat-Su Valley Programming blog

From time to time I write about various topics of interest to both computer programmers, website designers, and people living in Alaska. You'll find these short stories and tutorials on my blog pages.
