Professional Profile
I’m a perfectionist at heart and I would love to ease the burden of your modern-age technology woes. Just tell me the result you want; easy as that! Temporary positions beware, a person with the passion and skill combination of Object-Oriented PHP and MySQL I bring to the table, you will find it very hard to resist. During my last eight-plus years developing my clients’ projects, and just hands-on researching, I’ve also gained a knowledge of both the Zend Framework and the Yii Framework; bringing with it a knowledge of the MVC-architecture and other best practices and code techniques.
Committed to your safety and privacy, workstations are AES-encrypted with TrueCrypt and backup solutions for both data and practices such as Git are utilized. Contact me and mark my name beside your next project. Not only do I promise to make your next deadline early, the quality and pure beauty from the code I provide will only ensure our healthy relationship together!
Work Experience
January 2008 - Present
Owner, Consultant
Neoelite Consulting
Committed to my passion of computer programming several years ago, I started a little company for myself to work under to show people just how easy it can be to talk with a real human being on the phone and get the results you want - simply! I started out developing scripts utilizing cURL for data-mining or task automation and offered my services enhancing entire procedurally-crafted internet applications. Starting my relationship with Zend Framework while it was in beta and now with Yii Framework as well, I have a firm grasp using the Object-Oriented MVC-architecture with versioning and deployment tools like Git; speeding up development and slashing quality-assurance costs drastically. Yii Framework’s code-scaffolding along with its database migration and abstraction features place it among the best for fast-tracking your next application without the costly cleanup afterwards!
