Joe Dakroub’s Summary

For the past 10 years, I have been a web developer who specializes in web standards front-end development. In addition, I am comfortable using PHP 5 and mySQL, which I have done for the past 6 years.

Besides my web development experience, I have experience designing user-interfaces for web applications and some smaller websites.

I wish to expand my knowledge of software development by exploring new frameworks, platforms, and languages. I am always looking for efficient, easy-to-maintain, and cost-effective tools to complete my client's projects.

Currently, I am working on iPhone development and design.
