About Me

I am a PHP web developer and linguistics student living in either sunny Florida or snowy Minnesota, depending on the time of year. Over the past few years, I have developed a number of websites and custom web-based applications using primarily PHP, SQL, (X)HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I have worked with clients from all over the US, England, and Romania. My pride and joy is Lowter (external link), a web developer resource website containing a few hundred articles and blog entries about all sorts of web-related topics. I also have written a few online publications, helped companies improve their online content, and translated various documents.

Web development is my passion and I have been developing websites for over four years now. I follow all W3C standards to the best of my ability. Also, I have developed my own application development framework called Olympiad. Olympiad allows me to create a website or an application in about one third the time, similar to frameworks like CakePHP or Ruby on Rails, except Olympiad is one fourth the size and much less complex. Olympiad is one of my favourite projects, but I still haven't released it to the public.
