I'm a senior performance engineer with the unique ability to understand and solve business problems by successfully incorporating business logic into my development. In addition, I can effectively communicate with all types of people in a team environment. With many years of server-side and front end development experience, I now specialize in web based applications and web 2.0 technologies using LAMP.

I enjoy working under extreme time constraints and challenging environments, it is important to me that I'm highly accessible and responsive (Phone, IM, Email) throughout the work day.

I take pride in writing efficient and effective code and would love the opportunity to work on your project.
