I am a fullstack developer and linux system administrator based out of New York City. I focus on building stable, scalable, secure and maintainable systems that are a joy to use. To that end, I take ownership of all projects I work on, and strive to introduce constant improvement across the business. Of particular interest to me are APIs, cloud infrastructure, distributed computing and cluster management As a developer I do everything from slick responsive front-ends using Bootstrap and Jquery, to the backends using PHP or NodeJS MVC frameworks. I have used a number of different frameworks over the years including Zend, Codeigniter, Lithium, Express as well as custom frameworks. These typically use MongoDB, MySQL, or PostGresql as the main database as well as a caching layer using either Memcache or Redis. I've written custom CMS', internal APIs, integrated with vendors, and secured applications. As a system administrator I have managed Ubuntu, Debian, Red Hat Enterprise and CentOs servers with Ansible, Puppet and custom shell scripts. All new developer projects are set up with Vagrant and managed using Chef, Puppet or Ansible. Other typical infrastructure additions are Jenkins for continuous integration and Nagios for monitoring and capistrano for deployment. Simple tooling will usually mean writing scripts or tools in Bash, Python or Ruby. I am preparing to take on projects or contract roles in the New York City area. If you're interested in some development work or linux system administration please let me know.
