SUMMARY:

I am a web profesional who has spent over 10 years working in the industry. I am currently working as an application developer for a large advertising firm in Las Colinas, TX. I'm looking for a more challenging role than my current position, one that will challenge both my leadership skills and my development skills.
My technology experience ranges from system administration (unix - based) and development /deployment best practices to front end development with technologies like advanced Javascript, flexible interfaces and user interface development.
My experience also includes databases like Oracle and MySQL as well as other web based technologies. I'm familiar with the processes surrounding the full lifecycle of application development (from requirement gathering out to development and deployment).
I am also very involved in the PHP community having attended several nationwide conferences and having spoken at one and am an active member of the local PHP usergroup.
