Profile

Hi there! I'm a full stack developer, jack-of-all-trades type with a primary focus on back-end development. I'm fairly language agnostic and prefer to use the right tool for the job at hand depending on the project's needs and technology stack, and I have no problem adapting to new technologies as needed. I have the most experience with C# / .NET and PHP, and decent working experience with Java and Ruby on Rails.

I also have several years of systems administration experience and am very comfortable setting up and managing Windows and Linux servers, either by configuring bare metal instances or by using cloud solutions like Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. I prefer to automate things whenever possible, so I love working with shell scripting and APIs.

I dabble in design and can help to take a vague idea and turn that into a functional, user-friendly UI. I also have plenty of experience taking mockups or site designs and turning that into markup and CSS. Most of all, I just love to create things - taking an idea and turning it into a finished product is incredibly rewarding!
