Ed Meacham's Summary
I love PHP; I love Javascript; I love web development.
Specialties: PHP, PHP optimization, XML, native javascript (strongest libraries: Qatrix and jQuery), XAJAX, MySQL, MSSQL, SQLite.
I started dabbling with HTML & Javascript creating several websites for myself and for my high school. In early 2000 I added PHP to the list, followed by a bit of Java in 2001.
Fast-forward 10 years; 2009. I was hired by Visionary Services, as a Product Specialist for desktop support and light programming. Soon after starting, I received my first two projects; two online customer enrollment programs for FedEx, with program and application management. Garritt Grandberg mentored me as I graduated from Product Specialist to Software Developer. Of the many things he taught me, leaving your legacy "in code" has had the greatest inpact on me. To me, it's breed the belief that producing stable, consistant code without sacrificing the product's integrity, should be a goal regardless of a project's or client's size.
Since leaving Visionary, I have begun working on several "lab" projects for Stoic Labs, as well as some consulting for two social networking websites, and a record label based in the UK. Most recently, I began experimenting with a handful of NoSQL engines, and have created a custom flat file database as a "lab" project for Stoic Labs, with public release is pending.
