Developer at Panlocal Media, LLC.
Dallas/Fort Worth Area
I've been creating websites for over 10 years, and I've been using Django since early 2008. I am an avid open-source fan and a long-time Linux user. Web development is something that I am very passionate and enthusiastic about. I recently joined the team at Panlocal Media, LLC. to help them expand their highly successful local arts, entertainment, and news site Pegasus News into new cities and new possibilities.
I previously worked at Fidelity Investments as an Associate Software Engineer, handling production support primarily for Java and shell-script applications hosted on Sun Solaris servers. Prior to that I worked on the business side as a team lead for a team handling operations phone support for financial professionals, advisors, and end-clients. As projects within that role, I developed several web-based tools to help with documentation, training, recognition, and reporting.
Python, Django, JavaScript, jQuery, HTML, CSS, PostgreSQL, Mac OS X, Linux, Unix, Apache, Mercurial
