About
The Goods
I am a developer, journalist, and all-round magician - and somewhat of a rarity in the technical world of geeks and nerds. You see, not only am I a very skilled programmer/developer/problem solver, I also posses great communication and networking skills. I am complex, interesting, and just that little bit different.
As a developer, I have an ever increasing repertoire of languages under my belt, including PHP, Python, Perl, C++, and even the obscure IDOC scripting language used in Oracle UCM. I have been doing an extended tango with HTML/CSS development, and know exactly how to push Javascript's buttons. I also speak Unix, having spent many an hour with Sun Solaris clusters, but do not limit myself to them, and I am quite the gun with Windows, Linux, and Mac OS as well.
On top of all that geeking out, I also hold the position of Associate Editor of MobileBurn.com, a high-traffic mobile industry news and reviews website. This position has allowed me the pleasure of travelling to many the foreign country, attending trade shows and meetings with the who's who of the mobile technology world. I have refined the craft of the written English language under one of the great masters of the online journalism industry, Michael F. Oryl.
