As a developer I have three notable advantages:
The first is that I have 17 years of professional development experience. What started as a summer job has become a career that I'm proud of. My trade is in clean, well-documented, efficient, and complete code.
The second is in knowing the whole stack. I provision and administer servers; secure networks; code applications, services, websites - I have professional experience from the user experience at the very top to the transistors at the very bottom. Each part works better because I also know how it all fits together, and I can make changes at any level to make sure the job gets done correctly.
The third is excellent communication. A big part of my job is making technology understandable to people outside of the field, and I'm a professional. Some examples of my writing can be found here: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/1090#Articles Business objectives and technology are often in different worlds, and I'm here to build as frictionless a bridge as possible.
I specialize in Python, Javascript, and C on Unix-like systems - but for almost every technology challenge I can provide, at the very least, good advice or point you in the right direction.
