I'm a grizzled web engineer with a pile of experience going back to the good 'ol days of 1999. I've tried several times to move away from the web, but have realized that this is simply what I am meant to do.
* * *
For most of my career, PHP has been my preferred platform. I move quickly and think naturally in PHP. In recent years, I've also come to love JavaScript (Node.js), C#, Java and Ruby. I still prefer dynamic languages over static ones.
Over the years I have come to believe that RESTful APIs and applications are simply the best way to go. I enjoy working with platforms and frameworks that make building REST applications easy.
I'm passionate about education and believe that open sharing of wisdom is essential in every place I work. I can't think of a single job I've worked that I haven't delivered a presentation or two on something I thought the whole team would benefit from.
The two best pieces of advice I have ever received are:
1. Always hire people smarter than you.
2. Learn a new [programming] language every year.

Random Facts:
* I have an unnatural love for the Vim editor.
* I really dislike words that end in the "-ette" sound: towelette, packet, pellet, etc.
* I shell script in PHP and JavaScript. No, really I do.
* I feel comfortable in saying that I can probably solve all the world's problems using Git.
* A French press was probably the best and worst gift I have ever received. I've been known to drink four pots in a 24 hour period.
* P90X is real.
* Watches and eyewear are my only real accessories. I have lots of them.
* I use Markdown for everything, including writing this profile. Wikitext and textile just make me angry.
* Digital note taking has failed me miserably. I use a college ruled notebook as my work log, three lines of text per ruled line. I use grid paper for everything else.
* I actually enjoy working with regular expressions.
