Summary

I am a self-taught web developer with several years commercial experience. I specialize in Ruby on Rails development with MySQL databases. I markup pages with semantic XHTML and style them with CSS adhering to W3C specification when possible. This is often combined with javascript to create dynamic and engaging user interactions. I have solid PHP skills backed by three years of professional experience. I have built out several high profile sites using Drupal and have contributed the User Relationships module back to the Drupal community. I am an efficient and self-motivated learner.
