Programmer CV
Certifications: PHP4, PHP 5.3, and PHP 5.5
I've been writing software since the year 2000. I mostly program in PHP and have been lately delving into Objective-C for creating iOS and iPad apps. I also have solid knowledge of MySQL, HTML, CSS, javascript and I'm proficient with Zend Framework 1 and 2.
I can also find my way around a Linux server and do some basic maintenance on a LAMP stack or do some shell scripting for automating tasks.
When it comes to servers/clouds and (insert your favorite hype tech here) I've had my fair share of installing, configuring, and working with a lot of today's big guys: Akamai, Amazon Web Services, Rackspace, etc.
I currently specialize in architecting highly available software solutions. These are two of my biggest achievements in software architecture:
- Image manipulator: System capable of manipulating hundreds of images per second. Processes include resizing, cropping, extracting image metadata, and uploading to different targets (S3, Rackspace CloudFiles) via different channels (custom APIs, FTP, or SSH). The deployment was done entirely with Amazon Web Services utilizing the following components: EC2, S3, SQS, SNS, RDS, DynamoDb, ElasticBeanstalk, CloudWatch, and Route 53.
- Volvo Ocean Race: System comprised of many different moving pieces with multiple levels of redundancy. Web page content served via Akamai with three levels of failover: NetStorage, Rackspace Cloud, and Amazon Web Services. Mobile API, general audience access, press access, and content editor access, each on a different server with redundant databases and read replicas. Automated DB and content backups to Amazon S3. Background analysis of massive amounts of weather data, boats GPS coordinates, and race results. In the 2011-2012 race edition, the system sustained multiple DDoS attacks without a single interruption in service.
Other Skills

Some of the sites/clients I’ve worked for:
Many, many years ago I stopped updating this list. It just got too long and sites come and go... Also, most of my most impressive work is done in the backend which is something that you can't see by looking at any website's frontend!
