I started programming computers when I was eight years old, and, over the last 30 years, I've realized that I am, well, a programmer. That said, I do have the people skills necessary to remain competitive in the world of programming. When needed, I sit in the corner and program til the wee hours of the morning, but otherwise, I'm normal guy who's relatively easy to talk to.I have always enjoyed the challenge of creating interactive software. With the birth of the modern Internet, I found a new love of web development and web programming. I face every new piece of code as a fresh new beginning... a chance to do it even better, while, still using what works from the past.Please note that I've scored in the top 10% for both the CSS 2.0 and HTML 4.01 tests and the top 20% for PHP5 at another well-known freelancing website (oDesk). I scored in the top 30% on MySQL 5.0 through this freelancing site as well. Feel free to take a look at my oDesk profile at https://www.odesk.com/users/~014b75c2
