Working

This is me, I work on the web.

 

I can't remember a time without a computer in the house. My father wrote accounting software in COBOL and it wasn't long before I got my own hand-me-down PC. Playing games on it was great, but when it got connected to the internet I saw real value in spending time on it. With just a few keystrokes and the now archaic whirring and beeping of the modem, the world was at hand.

 

I didn't start out wanting to be a developer, I wanted to make movies. After a brief career in the independent film industry, I was offered a job supporting and enhancing intranet applications. I found I had a natural aptitude for programming, a love of finding problems and fixing them. Not just fixing problems in code, but finding solutions that help people accomplish things. I get just as much enjoyment debugging business processes as I do code. That first VBScript/ASP site started a career involving e-commerce sites, financial LOB applications, and marketing websites.

 

My typical day is spent creating sites in a combination of ASP.Net, C#, jQuery, and SQL Server. Occasionally I will be asked to tackle something in PHP or Flash.

 

In the evenings I try to limit myself to a handful of technologies, otherwise I would never finish anythi... There are so many tools and techniques I want to learn. I've developed in ASP.Net MVC, Prototype, Flex, Blogengine.Net, N2 CMS.

 

There's no better feeling than that of accomplishment being able to point at a site and say "I did that."
