PROFILE

Working in Web Development has been one of my life's passions. With 10 years of experience and such a broad range of skills and expertise from technical manager, project management, and creative development, the challenge of creating web applications has always been at the forefront of my career preference. If your looking for a strong developer who is creative, analytical, and a team leader then you might have just found him.

As a full service developer I am an expert in server platform installation/configuration, design mock ups, copywriting, application planning and architecture, W3C compliant XHTML/CSS, JavaScript/AJAX/prototype/scriptaculous/JQuery programming, Flash/ActionScript, and PHP/Ruby on Rails/JSP development.

I have developed several types of sites and systems over the years. For the last two years I've been heavily involved in creating Web 2.0 applications-mostly social networking. Aside from that I've created a fully featured e-commerce system, real estate sites, several content management applications, magazine publishing applications, permission based email marketing systems, invoice/billing and business management applications, and several others.
