Profile

I'm a web programmer based just outside of the lovely city of Seattle, Washington.

I've been working in the tech industry for 15 years and love what I do. I began as a COBOL programmer for a NASA contractor and have turned to developing websites, graphics, and applications.

Interests

GNU/LINUX: I work primarily in the GNU/Linux environment when handling code.
Graphic Design: I use Adobe CS5 for all my design.
Android: I consider Android development to be "fun," which might sound crazy unless you've ever had the honor or working with it.
Coding: I code in a multitude of languages, from PHP to .Net to Python.

Spoken Languages

  • English - Native
  • Spanish - Conversational
  • German - Conversational

Hobbies

Civil Rights Activism, Ron Paul'ing, and Betting on Cockfights.

 

Technical Skills

My skills are primarly in programming a variety of languages and associated graphic design.

Adobe CS5
PHP and MySQL
Python
HTML/HTML5/XHTML
CSS
JQuery/JScript
Web Security

Mentioning my skills is always a pain. Basically, if it needs to be done on the web, I can do it. Just ask.

My newest projects include working with "Responsive" sites. A Responsive site is one in which can be viewed on all devices from computers to tablets to mobiles without creating separate sites.
