I'm passionate about building scalable, user-focused applications for the web. I love clean code, care deeply about craftsmanship and enjoy creating sites and applications that put the user first. I have nearly 7 years of experience developing and managing web applications using a variety of backend technologies such as Django, Ruby on Rails, plain Python (WSGI and CGI), PHP and Perl.

I am equally comfortable with both the client and server sides of web development. My markup is clean, consistent and standards-based. I have experience and enjoy working with jQuery, Prototype and plain Javascript. I'm no stranger to hand-written SQL queries and have worked with MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQL Server. I know my way around an Apache or Nginx config file and have over seven years of experience managing Linux-hosted web servers.
