Ben Rasmusen’s Summary
In October 2007 I decided to move into doing full time web strategy and development. I'm currently wrapping up projects and looking for new opportunities.
For the past year I worked for precisehearing.com as lead web developer. We are using opensource technologies including PHP, MySQL and an open source CMS.
But my passion is web design. I love the Web 2.0 movement and love technology and the path it's taking. I enjoy keeping up with new trends in technology and specifically the internet. I'm a partner/owner in a joint venture, BlueSwarm.org (www.blueswarm.org). For information on this project go to blog.blueswarm.org.
I'm also very interested in gaining financial freedom through building assets and business systems. I am interested in real estate investment as a way to get to financial freedom.

I have experience using the following languages and technologies: PHP, MySQL, CSS, HTML, XHTML, AJAX, Ruby On Rails.
