About Me
I’m a father, atheist, web developer and vegetarian, living on an island in Southwest Florida with my wife, 2 kids and a Bernese Mountain Dog.
I’ve been developing web applications and desktop software professionally since 1999. I started my career using classic ASP, but quickly switched to PHP. More recently I’ve begun working with Ruby and Ruby on Rails. My specialty and passion is developing the back-end systems that drive robust web applications, both as a software programmer and as a business consultant/analyst.
Most notably, I’ve written two Firefox extensions (links below), was co-founder of GamertagDatabase.com (sold in 2005), was the lead developer of MyFamilyCanHelp.com, which helped those displaced by Hurricane Katrina find temporary housing, and have made contributions to several open-source projects on GitHub. I am also the founder of two Internet technology networking groups - the Providence Web Development Lunch Hour Group in Providence, RI (leadership position relinquished in Dec 2007), and the similarly named Sarasota Web Development Lunch Hour Meetup Group in Sarasota, FL.
I am currently available for freelance work. Please get in touch if you would like to work together.
Someday, I’ll go sailing.
