- » What I do
-
- I am a web developer. I make websites work. They look fairly decent too. But if I want them to look highly professional, I get a designer.
- I follow best practices.
- I use frameworks to work more efficiently and have less errors.
- I love Drupal. I'm okay with Expression Engine and Wordpress. I don't like Joomla.
- My native tongue is PHP.
- I can make JavaScript do amazing things, especially with jQuery.
- I create semantically correct HTML 4 & 5. No tables for layout. No confusing source code. Just take a look at the code for this page!
- I use CSS3, many times with SASS, and put up with Internet Explorer's short comings.
- I know MYSQL like the back of my hand.
- I love Open Source Software and hate licenses.
- I use LAMP and avoid things like IIS.
