About Me

I am a web developer with a wide array of skills, a broad knowledge base from which to draw from and many years of experience working with the web.

I have worked in a number of environments from startups just getting off the ground taking new ideas and shaping them to a workable prototype, to coming in to fine tune performance issues and make enhancements to established sites.

At the highest levels, I feel that I have a great understanding of how to approach online businesses and at other levels lots of experience in the nitty gritty details of implementation, from the architecture and hardware, to databases design and performance, to writing well crafted code following industry standard best practices.

My Approach

Overall, I take pride in the way I go about approaching and solving problems, whether they be technical, or otherwise, always with a cool head, and a systematic approach. I am always up for a challenge, driven, self-motivated, resourceful and ambitious.

As a web developer, while I have a number of talents and a wide variety of skills, I pride myself on my ability to take a methodical and responsible approach to web development. I strive to write code of the highest standard, clean, well documented, efficient and extensible. My technologies of choice are PHP, MySQL, Unix/ Linux, and Apache, otherwise known as the LAMP stack. I have been working with these technologies for years from both an administration and development angle.
