I'm a web programmer with experienced mainly with development in a LAMP environment. Server-side, I'm comfortable with the CodeIgniter and Kohana frameworks, and I use primarily jQuery for the client side. I've implemented sites using several CMSs including WordPress, Drupal, Symphony, and Textpattern, although Textpattern is currently my favorite.
I'm interested in continuing in web development in an academic and/or library environment.
