B.Sc; ZCPE; ZFCA; 15Y veteran PHP4/5, Zend Framework, HTML, CSS, JavaScript
Over my 15 years as a computer programmer I've seen it all; from my early days tinkering with PHP/FI right up to the present-day modernity of PHP5.6, two things have been a constant in my career: a dedication to the art of PHP and to the unending enjoyment of programming that accompanies it. Along my winding PHP journey I've picked up a broad base of skills, including HTML, JavaScript, CSS, LAMP server administration, database design, object-oriented design theory, and various SCM/version control systems just to name a few. I've also contributed code, documentation and/or discussion to a number of open-source projects in recent years, primarily within the Zend Framework ecosystem.
Despite my love of PHP I am more than just a one-trick pony. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science from Memorial University of Newfoundland, with minor concentrations in Mathematics and Economics. My non-PHP skills include some proficency in C#.NET, web-based mobile development (jQmobile, Sencha Touch), NodeJS, Atmel microprocessors, and Java (the subject of my B.Sc work)
I am a full-service contractor who will guide you through every stage of your project's evolution, from planning to implementation to deployment and ongoing maintenance. My passion is pulling together my broad-based experience to assist clients in using technology to break down obstacles and help them realize their goals, and make some money while i'm at it ;)
My communication channels are always open so if you're interested in chatting with me about a project you've been bouncing around feel free to drop me a message anytime!
Work Terms
I am highly available and can timeshift to match the timezone you work in upon request. I generally prefer engagements where I'm hired by the day or week, though I am open to hourly-pay engagements with a suitable quantity of hours guaranteed.
