Daniel Cousineau’s Summary

I'm a Web Developer who's primary focus is in the LAMP software stack (PHP), however I have experience in a multitude of other languages ranging from C to C++, C#, Java, and Python.

I keep up to date with the latest news and developments concerning PHP, as well as follow blogs that teach me scalability and optimization techniques. Just because I don't have the money or privilege to work on high performance architectures does not mean I can't continue to learn and apply the techniques to everything I do.

I firmly support open source whether it be releasing as many tools as I can under the MIT license or contributing to open source applications where possible.

Daniel Cousineau’s Specialties:

Currently I work with PHP, MVC Frameworks, MySQL, Apache (standard LAMP). I've been looking for every excuse I can to use Python and am devouring LISP books (again looking for projects to practice and learn LISP on).

In the past I've done work in ASP 2.0, MSSQL, VisualBasic, C++ (mainly GNU tools), C#, and Java.
