About Me
I'm an experienced web developer/programmer, mostly developing applications in PHP and mySQL, though I know several other programming languages. I have a serious programming background, and am resposable for all the technical aspects of a project. I usually work as a contractor or on a freelance basis, but I'm open to long-term or permanent work.
I normally work on the back-end/technical side, though I can also do XHTML/CSS website design with a focus on standards compliance, good user interface design, accessibility, and a clean uncluttered appearance.
