Work

I have wide ranging experience including, but not limited to Website Development, System Administration, User Administration and Support, Database Administration, Network Administration, Project Planning and Consulting. I try to keep things as simple and clean as possible, accomplishing as complicated a task as is presented to me!

Today the "lamp" and "lemp" environments are where I do most of my consulting and contract work. I developed and support an automated online ordering, artwork layout, printing, binding, shipping and invoicing system for a graphics company (basically the business runs on my code). I administer / Support / Develop on systems running Ubuntu or MacOS, Apache Web Servers (SSL security), PHP, MySql supported by automated administration via cron jobs (shell scripts and PHP command line based scripts). I setup, move, clone and administer cloud servers with Digital Ocean, Amazon AWS, Rackspace and Network Solutions. I mostly do "backend" coding and specialize in creating or integrating existing websites with dynamic database driven content and systems. Lately I have been doing more website integrations with external apps, coding, managing projects developed in Laravel, fixing broken and/or hacked WordPress sites where they didnt have backups! I have done a lot of work automating and developing on-the-fly dynamic (from user or database content) content for clients. I have setup and customized numerous e-commerce sites. I support companies computer systems and networks, which is all pieces of hardware and software starting from where the fibre hits the building and ending with the users typing on their keyboards.

When coding I mostly start from scratch and by hand. I pride myself on my problem solving skills and being able to make the best use of current technology to suit a clients needs without unnecessary costs. Its easy to get an html coder to produce a form or a Graphics Artist to produce a slick design or Flash screen, but you need somebody to take that snazzy visual content and make it work dynamically on your website and for your company. You need it to interface with your Databases and existing systems to provide instant, accurate, secure and reliable content to your customers and for your business.

Please contact me if you are interested in my services.
