Steven Baker’s Summary

San Francisco Bay Area software engineer with ~10 years of professional experience developing high volume web applications.

At my core, I am a software engineer. I write code for a living and I love doing it. But I also tremendously enjoy doing all of the other little things that are essential to the success of a software project:

* Creating clean documentation for other developers
* Spending time to cross-pollinate knowledge to peers
* Speaking with external clients and partners
* Producing and giving demos
* Evangelizing/building buzz through social media

Whatever it takes. There is a wide breadth of things I enjoy tackling when I join a software team. My aim is to continue to be a part of great ones.

Steven Baker’s Specialties:

When I come to the table, I bring a decade of LAMP experience (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP, Perl), a passion for creating useful, powerful web services, and a big bottle of midnight oil.
