PHP Web Developer Statement
Actively Seeking
At this time I am looking for a solid opportunity, to be part of a team, to be a part of something much larger then myself and not to mention, excitement in my career. I am not just looking for a job but something more.
If you are looking for someone with a proven ability to research, analyze, and solve problems with a great instinct, determination and business sense, then by all means, I encourage you to read on.
Well Rounded
I am a web developer with a wide array of skills and a broad knowledge base to draw from, I have after all been developing for the web since its infancy and as for PHP and MySQL I've been working with PHP and MySQL since version 3 of each was all the rage.
Over the years, I've had the opportunity to work in a number of environments from startups just getting off the ground to established companies looking to maintain an existing infastructure, and or completely revamp their web site.
In so doing, I have worked to help build online businesses, grown online businesses, worked to refocus their strategies and crafted effective search engine optimization efforts along the way. I've also extensively written both content and documentation for various projects I've worked on throughout the years.
I have enjoyed a long and varied career as a web developer, and over the years, I've worn many hats hats (developer, consultant, project lead, manager etc).
As a result of my long and varied career, I feel that I posses not only a great understanding of how to approach online businesses and plenty of experience in the nitty gritty details of implementation, but also my experience makes for a well rounded, mature perspective when it comes to web development, and doing online business that I take great pride in.
My Approach
I take pride in the way I go about approaching and solving problems, whether they be technical, or otherwise, always with a cool head, and a systematic approach. I am always up for a challenge, driven, self-motivated, resourceful and ambitious.
As a web developer, while I have a number of talents and a wide variety of skills, I pride myself on my ability to take a methodical and responsible approach to web development. I strive to write code of the highest standard, clean, well documented, efficient and extensible. My technologies of choice are PHP, MySQL, Unix/ Linux, and Apache, otherwise known as the LAMP stack. I have been working with these technologies for years from both an administration and development angle.
As more of an online strategist, again, I have a lot of experience to bring to bear. From basic online strategy, to gaining top search engine placements, I focus on results, user centered design, and the user experience keeping in mind business goals as the guiding principle. I believe I have more than a good intuition and a gut that serves me well in making critical decisions that affect a company's bottom line online.
Now, on to the resume.
