I started iOS development in my free time, reading books, and eventually using the game framework Cocos2D to create a simple game app for myself.  I then moved onto assisting HoodHot Travel with the development of their Taxi Guides, apps that have over 50k downloads and $xx,000 in revenue.  

Later, I consulted for brands such as Macy's, William Grant & Sons, Aveda, and more--creating enterprise iPhone and iPad apps for their portfolios or exhibits.

In my last startup, I also built a mobile web app using Sencha Touch 2, that deployed to both iOS and Android, and the mobile web browsers.

Recently, I've been tackling Swift in a side project, enjoying hacking in the new efficient and terse language.

Refer to my jQuery experience.
In my last startup, I also used Javascript web framework (Sencha Touch 2).

Refer to my Wordpress experience.
In my last place of employment, I wrote a lot of front-end templates using Pyramid's templating scheme and HTML.  In Django, I've done the same.


I've used Python for basic scripting purposes back when I first start diving into programming as a career, and have more recently coded in Python web frameworks such as Django and Pyramid.

In my last startup, built our backend using Django, PostgreSQL, Apache stack. Implemented the TDD test suite and fleshed out our API based on Django Rest Framework.

In almost any front-end development I've done, jQuery was involved in some fashion.  Heavily used in my custom Wordpress themes.

In my last startup, we used AWS EC2 to host our servers, launching different instances for development and production, with differing ACLs.
Used S3 to host static content, mainly images and videos.

I've been a proponent of Git since my first place of employment, where I also first encountered the archaic CVS and desperately sought a better alternative to suggest to the team.

Since then, I have used git to version control all my personal and professional projects.

I built Wordpress sites for clients of a consulting firm, developing custom themes and and integrating plugins.

Engineered a provisioning and deployment solution using Ansible for orchestrating updates to our AWS EC2 servers and a local Vagrant-configured VirtualBox virtual machine with an Ubuntu / nginx / uWSGI / PostgreSQL stack.
