I've been programming using using the standard AMP framework since 2008. I've written custom eCommerce solutions, large-scale operational database applications, and custom plugins for common Open Source CMSs.
I am proficient in multiple programming paradigms, languages, and markup systems. These include but are not limited to PHP, JavaScript, SQL, X/HTML, CSS, Java, and C++. I am knowledgeable in the LaTeX typesetting system and its underlying language. I am familiar with prolog. If there is a programming language in which I need to work, I can bring myself up to speed on it quickly.
I believe in Open Source as a means for implementing low-cost IT infrastructure as well as for professional use. If currently available open source tools can be integrated to form a complete system, I find that to be preferable to pursuing a proprietary or custom solution.
Oh, and I geek out on bicycles, too.
