I'm an effective problem solver. My strength is figuring out how to get things to work together. My platforms of choice for web development are Plone and Linux. I prefer Python.
I am especially interested in Plone integration with other systems.
I've done mashups/integration with the following systems: Flickr, Snipshot, Accuweather, Google maps.
Thorough understanding of Web Fundamentals (HTML, CSS and javascript).
I also have experience with PHP, Gimp, Inkscape, Photoshop and Flash.
My system administration experience includes Squid, Postfix, Apache, Nginx, Varnish, Pound load balancing, CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu, Red Hat. I've worked with Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and S3 and most recently I've started to tinker with Google AppEngine.
