biography

At age 24 I have been developing desktop applications and websites for longer than I can remember. Since I was a kid I had an old IBM PC in my house that I used to write pointless Basic apps on. As soon as I got AOL 3.0 (HELLA) I started making little kilroy sites for various friends and family. This was all fine and dandy but seriously boring.

Outside of friends and family, my first jobs where through various online freelance sites where I had the joy of competing with the rates of people from India.

Throughout my client years I had countless jobs of PHP, CSS, Javascript, Visual Basic, TCL, Flash, Actionscript, Coldfusion, Perl, Python, Microsft SQL, Java, and just about everything I don't normally use. I had many random projects including porting some games over to PSP, writing some C addons to a PC based MMO, designing some porn site, and lots more.

For the next few years I had many successfully websites and desktop applications. I completely abandoned all my knowledge of VB and migrated to C# and began developing back and front end apis with PHP and C# desktop applications. I wrote a paypal clone after paypal screwed me over, and I wrote a domain registrar after registerfly screwed me over.

My current software fetishes are iPhone development, Mootools, and excessive use of objects in PHP. I absolutely love JSON (screw xml seriously) and use it with both fancy web UIs with mootools, as well has backend services for the iPhone. I currently am working at a web development shop in Lake Forrest doing whatever jobs get forced upon me. I also do video editing outsourcing for Atlus.
