Freelance Web Developer
Springfield, Missouri Area
I'm a web developer.
The majority of my work pertains to creating the back-end structures of enterprise web applications, but I like to get my hands dirty with a little bit of front-end development every now and then (and sometimes I'll even take a stab at some design work.) I speak fluently in PHP, XHTML, Javascript and SQL, dream in Python, and enjoy a little snack in Ruby from time to time, all depending on the needs of the project at hand.
I also enjoy marketing (specifically the non-invasive kind), business and process development, and a whole host of other not-so-technical things.
Web development and design, project management, marketing process and implementation, information architecture, interaction design/user experience design, usability, accessibility, the kitchen sink.
The specifics: PHP (CodeIgniter, Symfony), Python (Django), Ruby (Rails), SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL), Javascript (jQuery, Prototype, MooTools, Scriptaculous), Java, XHTML, CSS, Subversion, Apache and IIS Administration. All of these on Windows, Unix and Mac operating systems.
