Over a decade in web development as an employee, in contract and full-time positions for marketing, web studios; even corporate. After coming across horrendous infrastructure and product design, the love of elegant and efficient code grew in me - and apparently my aptitude in organizing. Always felt the compulsion to go beyond doing just what I needed to do. I wasn't satisfied by just being fast, I was interested in properly architecting the product, automating processes, and creating innovations that could multiply the effectiveness of everyone around me. Throughout this time I had the pleasure of doing the following:- Best practices evangelist (when given the opportunity)- Lead web developer for online portals- Facing horror case scenarios in real production environments- Flash programmer in banner advertising for big brands- My own web studio, with lead developer responsibilities- Ramming through mediocrity...- PHP / jQuery developer for promotional sites- Developer on flash applications
