skillz

I architect custom PHP / MySQL based frameworks & systems, custom HTML / Javascript frontend interfaces and fuse them together with AJAX technology. I have been programming for 19+ years ( 7+ years in Web ). My bread & butter is PHP / Javascript, but I am also VERY proficient in the following
- ASP / ASP.NET (little rusty)
- HTML 4 Strict / XHTML Strict - Transitional
- CSS 2 ( excited about CSS3 coming )
- C, C++, Basic, QBasic, Turbo Pascal
While some PHP coders simply throw Drupal, Wordpress, Codeignitor, Syphony, or some other framework at a project, I refuse to be tied to a single solution for any problem. PHP can be as simple or complex as you like and far too often programmers get lazy and dependent on a single framework, losing the basic skillz and knowledge of how to do things. I have used the above mentioned frameworks and even built a few of my own from the ground up. In the end, they are all fancy ways to code a web-page.
I evaluate the needs of a project first, then architect a custom, clean, scalable, and fast performing solution. All solutions are Cross-Browser friendly ( even ol IE6 ).
I'm a programmer, I deal in 1's & 0's. When it comes to the "look" and style of things, I turn to a couple of friends.
