Lead Web Developer and Linux Admin. Using PHP, MYSQL JAVASCRIPT HTML CSS NODE XML SOAP. Linux Admin: BASH, NGINX, APACHE, NODE, DB MAINTENANCE AND PERFORMANCE, POSTFIX. Linux upgrading and upkeep. My IT career:For the first 3 years of my career I worked primary as a IT Director Supporting Restaurant POS systems and VPN networks. Creating VBA scripts to automate reporting data gathering. Traveling and maintaining Solid reliable Networks from the restaurant to the HQ. Maintaining 2 Linux LAMP servers that housed our database and internal corporate portal and dashboard. In the end we save each manager two hrs of work each night of spreed sheet work and created a real time reporting web portal that to this day is still used to inform the company.Eventually, I realized I enjoyed writing code and the rewarding aspects of having a script or web app save a lot of time for everybody. So I changed my focus to more CRON BASH scripts and Back-End Web Programming by installing and administering in house Linux servers- Apache or Nginix. For actual coding I mainly used PHP, NODE, HTML, CSS, MYSQL, PHP is probably my strongest Point, Now within the last 2 years I have been learning Front-end Programming and Diving Deep into JavaScript, and creating a lot of Asynchronous AJAX functionality to our in house portal at Stephen Wade Auto Center where I now work. I like to think of my self as a pro-active problem solver more than anything else. With our modern world I feel it is stifling to try to be a master of everything and believe its impossible to know everything, so when projects arise I do my research and find the best possible technology or language for the job, learn what I need ASAP and build a solution for the exact problem the company is facing. I think I am very versatile and able to deal with radical changes well because I get bored easy and like to hyper focus on a given challenge or project until it is complete and there are high fives all around.
