If you’ve been to Burlington, Vermont, you know where I live. If you’ve been to the internet, you know where I work.
I thought that sounded pretty snappy. With luck, so do you.
The stuff I brag about knowing are PHP, JavaScript, PostgreSQL, MySQL, TCL/TK, several Facebook APIs, cross-browser scripting, cross-domain scripting, IRC, and SMS gateways. I’ve worked on projects that involved all of those things, and making lots of unrelated parts play together is probably my greatest strength.
I’ve developed for mobile platforms including the iPhone and iPad.
I administer several Linux servers, and use source control on a daily basis. I keep a development blog and use Twitter to a distressing extent. I’ve hacked around with Ruby and Python but have yet to substantially involve either in anything I’m doing, which is a shame.
I have a developer’s background in social networks, real estate, gaming and web publishing. I started to realize that I should identify myself as a writer when the placeholder text I write for layouts I designed kept showing up in the final sites. No, I didn’t bill for that. Is that weird?
I do illustrations, of characters or otherwise, though mostly for my own projects. My work has been commissioned for apparel and souvenir prints.
I am passionate about typefaces, literature, code modularity and hand-washing. No, that time I’m not kidding. I also like films.
I’m a good developer, I get the big picture, and I write code for fun.
