I have mostly been working in J2EE applications, initially with Tomcat but now in Websphere. My experience covers the full stack, from backend DAOs through the service layer and up to the frontend.

I have not used many of the popular frameworks, but my experience and understanding is solid. I really appreciate automating interaction with the user, and the little touches that make a web experience more enjoyable.

I appreciate and enjoy creating fully responsive designs, with minimal structural elements and keen CSS for a sleek experience.

I worked primarily on Plone core and add-on products, spent some time in pure Zope sites, and also used Python for several research projects.

I began with Oracle, then moved into MySQL when I started helping with smaller web sites. My biggest speed improvements always come from optimizing SQL calls and the related programming around them.

I only began working with Node.js recently, but I completely understand the concepts and can easily troubleshoot route issues.

I have always used jQuery for UI automation, map-reduce, and more complex code that cannot be done with straight javascript. I am a jQuery believer.

I have worked with small sites on up to large multi-location medical clinics, and handled challenges like remote synchronization, disaster recovery, and using multi-column indexes for query improvement.

I have full working knowledge of git and used it quite a bit while working with open source projects.

I built a load balanced platform for serving a popular sports-related WordPress site, and wrote a custom add-on for community participation, handled caching for high traffic, customized several themes along the way, and have generally used WordPress for several small sites.

I enjoy seeing data represented in a meaningful and interactive format. I have used it to demonstrate the complex relationships in module dependencies for OpenMRS, and in a masters project showing disease correlations in geographic and multivariate perspectives.

I like using d3 to tie the DOM to data, and react to user input. I built a system around multiple visualizations, some with geo projections and others as complex multivariate graphs, all with interactions for narrowing scope and discovering patterns.
