My Resume

(todo: bring up to date)

I currently develop in a mixed technology environment performing development and administration tasks with Apache and IIS. I develop using PHP, ASP, Dot Net, JavaScript, Perl and Python.

Effectively, “wearing all hats” at my place of employment, I have experience all the way from networking environments, to Web servers, to the Web applications themselves. I have setup and configured routers, firewalls, VPNs, switches, load balancers, etc.

My favorite Internet topic is security. I try to instill security in every network I build and in every Web application I write.
