About Me
Frustrated artist, having to do geek work for a living.
I build web sites with open source software. I’ve worked on e-commerce systems, disaster management and web analytics applications for the last 10 years. My areas of expertise are the Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP stack, plus the usual web technologies such as jQuery, HTML 5, and MVC frameworks (Zend Framework and CodeIgniter). Also a Zend Certified Engineer.
When I’m not writing code, I’m taking photographs, playing with my kids, or living a sardine’s life in the jam packed commuter train. I am on a continuous quest to find out why I don’t get fat, cutting down my consumption of donuts, and saving up to get to the land of the midnight sun. Short-term, my goals are more attainable:
- Reading what’s new in my Google Reader
- Looking for something to eat
- Buying something to replace the food I just ate
- Checking and responding to email
- Building, tweaking and repairing web applications
- Improving technology since 10000 BC
- Looking for something crazy to do
- Playing a game (that I’ve finished several times)
- Creating scripts to automate as many of the above tasks as possible
Things that drive me nuts:
- Busybodies
- Not sticking to the plan
- Not having a plan
- Blackouts
- People who are never on time
- People who never spell my name correctly
- Internet Explorer
