I'm a longtime developer and technical writer who’s been building and breaking things on the web since the mid-'90s. Back in the day, I ran PageResource.com and JavaScriptCity.com, which aimed to help folks get started with web development for free.
I’ve written a couple of programming books—JavaScript: A Beginner's Guide and jQuery: A Beginner's Guide—and spent time coding and writing for both the state government and a medical software company.
These days I work mostly with what some call the WENP stack (though there doesn't appear to be an established name for it at this time): Windows, Express, Node.js, and PostgreSQL.
Overall, I have experience with:
- JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Perl, PHP, Python
- Node.js, Express
- MySQL, PostgreSQL
- Apache, Windows, Linux
- Technical Writing (mainly instructions, documentation, and user manuals)
Always up for solving problems, learning something new, or revisiting old-school tech with fresh eyes. If you're into clean code, clear docs, or just geeking out over web history, we’ll probably get along!
