Rylan W. Hazelton’s Summary
I have had a computer since I was 8. Teaching myself BASIC before I was 10 and have been programming and working with computers ever since. I’m self-starter with a strong entrepreneurial spirit and an intense drive to win coupled with a high success rate. I’m a very fast, intelligent, and thorough worker. Using my experience and ability to master new programming languages and technologies quickly, I can solve most problems quickly and efficiently. I have over 8 years of experience architecting, building and hosting highly scalable and optimized websites. And over 20 years of computer experience.
I’m looking for a Senior/Lead Development position where I can use my sharp skills, fast work and proven high success rate to help you resolve your development needs.
Note about my resume: Through my career I’ve held jobs at small companies where the title was big, but the role was less grand, generally just me developing and solving alone. Some me leading 1-2 other developers. Because of this many jobs below list the title on paper that was given to me followed by the relevant role/title describing what the job entailed.
