about me
- I love setting up websites
- I am first and foremost a graphics designer, in my dark past I was a broadsheet newspaper typesetter
- I was trained to think in pictures, and have always tried my best to get everything perfect
- I get involved in projects that further OSS (Open Source Software) community involvement
& interaction like Openhatch - I also love maintaining websites (system administration stuff) - firewalls, .htaccess rules, and installing VPS's.
- I like to extend myself in my weak areas and I'm currently developing my programming skills in PHP and Python
GOALS - this year
- Expand my skills in PHP and Python, put a couple of frameworks in these under my belt.
eg. Zend / Codeignitor (PHP) - Django & PyGTK (Python)
GOALS - next year
- Be involved in mentoring someone else to not only further my own perspective but
also to give back to web development community that has helped me - Increase my confidence with different programming languages by adding another language to my toolset
- Probably Ruby on Rails or Java
For now that's what my heart desires, I will probably revise & reconsider these during the 3 years.
If you'd like to employ me in a project and that fits into my current goals, go ahead, get in touch!
