Herman Smith’s Experience

• Software Developer

  24.com

  (Information Technology and Services industry)

  February 2008 — Present (7 months)

  At 24.com I work as a developer in the Social Networking division. One of the exciting projects that I am looking forward to working on is going to be a single sign-on Profile management platform. Hopefully we also get to do some LBS (Location Based Services) work.
  
  In the past 24.com has been a purely Microsoft shop but with the forming of a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL & PHP) division which I am a part of the stage has been set for some very exciting development and cross platform integration.
