I have worked in almost every area of IT and software: hardware, networking, security, consulting and development. I've been called a jack-of-all trades, another has suggested 'Web Architect' since I focus on the Web. I love everything related to the internet and the open-source technologies that support it. Everyday is an opportunity to learn something new.
While I've programmed in Bash, C, Java, Node.js, PHP, Python and others on Solaris to Linux, I've had an affinity to Ruby and Ruby on Rails since 2006. My project experience varies from small micro-sites, Fortune 500 marketing sites, SaaS applications, large real estate rental sites, and social media real-time television event sites. Also before 'DevOps' became a moniker, I began working between development teams and operations, helping get large architectural changes deployed smoothly. While Ruby and Rails are my goal-to tools of choice, I am not a one-trick pony. I've written Java to talk to legacy web services when nothing else will work
