Daevid Vincent’s Summary

I am an excellent programmer, and prefer mySQL, PHP, Java and am learning Ruby. I specialize in LAMP technologies. My specialties are in automation and back-end work.

I've been coding professionally since 1995. In that time I've coded GUI front ends, SQL backends, 3D games, CRMs, Bug trackers, enterprise level NAC appliances, social networks and various intranet custom web tools.

I am as comfortable as a team lead and manager as I am following orders. I prefer to be the lead architect and coder. I thrive on building projects from scratch and watching it evolve and grow.

Daevid Vincent’s Specialties:

common sense, automation, efficient solutions, architecture, optimization, team leading and management.
