Career Profile

I've been developing websites for many years — primarily using PHP, MySQL (or MariaDB), JavaScript & jQuery, HTML5, and CSS. I've worn many hats across many roles including personnel management, network administration / engineering, and design / marketing. All of my experience has shaped a "Team over Me" philosophy that I bring to every engagement.
