Michael Krakovskiy’s Summary

Seasoned web developer. Turn-offs include over-complicated solutions, slow-loading web pages, web site redesigns that result in less traffic, messy code, buzzword-infused nonsense speech, technology for technology's sake. Likes adding features that bring in more money, lightweight custom solutions or cheap and quick off-the-shelf ones, best tools for the job, cheap usability testing, proper development environments.

P.S. I love Drupal.
