» Technologies

I program in PHP, mysql, javascript, and Perl, usually on linux / unix based hosting platforms. Common applications I deal with are e-commerce (shopping carts), listing databases, forums / bulletin boards and web forms. I often deal with existing (someone else’s) code, or purchased software that includes source code. In addition, I’m a reseller for authorize.net (a leading online payment processor), and Sunshop.

» System Administration

Unlike many programmers, I have years of experience maintaining, monitoring, and updating linux / apache (web server) systems. This gives me a deeper perspective when troubleshooting issues. It’s especially helpful working with clients who have dedicated servers, doing site migrations, DNS moves, etc. If you need someone with a wide skill set in web technologies, I can help!

» Rates

My hourly rate is $65. Quotes will be provided, for well-defined projects. I will gladly estimate any work you need. Read the about page to learn more about how I work. Please contact me to discuss your specific needs.

» A People Person

Many technical people have prickly personalities - they are arrogant, condescending, and difficult to work with. You will find that I am the exact opposite.

» Local

If you are local to Lansdale, Harleysville, Hatfield, Souderton and surrounding areas, I can meet you onsite to discuss your needs.

Project: Sunshop Modifications
Date Completed: 07/2010

Overview: Google base (products) feed customization
