I'm an Internet programmer from Vancouver, Canada (currently living in Paris, et oui, je parle un peu de français) with a wide and flexible skill set. I develop mostly Ruby on Rails / MySQL projects on Linux/Apache, but I have extensive experience developing Microsoft .Net C# / MSSQL W2K/IIS enterprise level projects. Due to my experience with working in small teams, I'm used to being a jack of all trades and being able to take a project from nothing more than an idea, all the way to a complete, operating website. This includes handling all facets of server setup, systems and network administration, website design, data design, development, testing, publishing, marketing, Search Engine Optimization and ongoing maintenance. An example of an ongoing project of mine is [login to view URL]. This is an online book club connected to Amazon's Web Services API, leveraging their S3 storage system, running on a Ruby on Rails, MySQL, Ubuntu Linux, Apache 2.2.4 platform.
