Joel Strellner’s Summary
Internet Entrepreneur, Application Developer and Project Manager. I have been online 15+ years, and look forward to the next 15.
I have started a few companies, some successful, others not. All of them have been a great learning experience though.
The applications I develop typically include lots of data processing, and then summarizes things to get a better picture - Both Twitturly and UrlTrends are good examples of this.
I am well versed in multiple programming languages - but my favorite is still PHP, it just easy to use and can be bent to do nearly anything you'd like to do. I also have experience in server administration (CentOS/Redhat, Freebsd), basic graphic design and pretty much anything that has to do with computers.
I have no formal training for my programming experience, instead all of the experience I have has been fueled from my entrepreneurial spirit.
I hold multiple certificates in project planning; currently working towards obtaining a PMP cert.
