Web Developer at Yakima Herald-Republic
Yakima, Washington Area
I'm an experienced software developer currently specializing in web-applications, with an interest in customized client-centric applications development.
As an eager surveyor of new technology and development environments, I'm often asked to evaluate and recommend new tools and practices (the full report will be on your desk by the end of the week, still smoking from the last lab explosion).
For bigger problems, I'm an analytical and methodical worker with an engineer mindset, and reputation for thinking through problems. I always try to leave projects in a better state than when I found them.
