BUZZWORDS MAKE THE WEB GO AROUND

Self-organization and accountability has been the crux of my development approach from day one. I was "agile" and I didn't even know it!

Three consecutive years of distributing hundreds of files via the world's largest server distribution network.

Yes, I know how to use Ajax methods. The gallery scroller uses Ajax methods to call the images and text you see displayed on the main page. I am also familiar with calls being made from a field on a page (ie: dynamic checking of valid user names in sign up forms). JQuery has been instrumental in allowing me to make various Ajax functions and not worry about browser compatibility issues.

I'll confess that I have made some pretty messy code in my life but it's always come back to haunt me. I've found that having a pseudo-standard method of writing has really been helping me keep things tidy.

Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP (not so much Python or Perl for me) has been at the core of my freelance development over the past 5+ years.

Making sure that a browser can see your information without choking that client with features that it cannot display is a must on today's web.

I have to admit that I kinda cheated when it came to building my first REST app for www.flojuggler.com. I used CakePHP and it made the whole process so easy I actually feel guilty.

Search Engine Optimization has become the holy grail of the marketing department. If you examine the source code for www.selino.com you'll notice that all the appropriate White Hat strategies are present and working.

Facebook integration is the next big bubble... uh... I mean wave. Integrating Facebook Connect was one of my major tasks on the www.flojuggler.com project.

Currently I am a huge fan of Subversion combined with Tortoise SVN but I also have years of experience using CVS via command line and SmartCVS in team environments.

Yes, I'm uncomfortable being comfortable. "Learn something new every day" is my motto along with "We stay until it's done".
