Summary
I have worked many years in different fields, but out of all my work I've enjoyed the most (and been the best at) web programming. I have over 13 years total programming experience. I've done it for school, work, and fun and I know the little things that can cause problems and how to avoid them. I practice best-practices and insist on clean, easy-to-maintain code. My style of coding has been beneficial to many of the companies I've worked for in both maintenance and overall cost to develop. I adhere to strict standards compliance and constantly research the latest and greatest in programming techniques. I'm confident that my unique skills will be a great asset to any programming project.
