Objects are scalable, unobtrusive, and are optimized for fastest loading time. also specialize in creating and maintaining back-end scripts for functions of digital objects individually and en masse.

I'm Clara Sexton, CTO of VRx Network Services - one of Canada's earliest web companies.

I design, build, and maintain VRx IPS, my custom Internet Publishing Systems content management platform. It powers large-scale content production, SEO optimization, domain strategy, and the ongoing operation of hundreds of high-performance websites.

My core technical work includes:

  • Unix/Linux system administration and Apache web server configuration
  • C CGI programming for custom dynamic applications
  • Back-end scripting and automation for mass site updates and QA (SiteInit and related toolchains)
  • Digital object creation and integration - building fast, scalable interactive web elements
  • Domain portfolio management, DNS coordination, and registrar-level infrastructure

Education: Bachelor of Design, Digital Futures, OCAD University.

This section of the site serves as the technical archive of the systems, tools, and workflows I’ve architected and refined since the early commercial web.
