Paul Wenzel’s Summary

Experience in broadcasting things into the ether. Also very good at using the explode() function and pressing Cmd+Z.

I also excel as a liaison between designers and developers (I speak both languages).

Paul Wenzel’s Specialties:

Standards-based XHTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, MySQL, and light Flash. Wordpress, Expression Engine, CodeIgniter, Quartz Composer, and Max/MSP/Jitter. Very comfortable in Mac, Windows, and Linux environments. Streaming media is a plus.

Quite experienced with network equipment, crypto, and security matters. If it runs MIDI, I'll route it. I push for open-source technologies where appropriate. I have an aptitude for learning new technologies. Inquire for a specific list of toolsets.
