Me in a nutshell:

An above average, versatile, self-directed, opinionated Ruby on Rails/PHP application developer; with some Systems Administration skills.


Position Desired:

I am looking to join a company that has a useful product or service, and lots of interesting problems to solve. Ideally, this company will be using either Ruby on Rails or PHP with an open-source framework for their web development.

My recent work has involved mostly back end processes, However, I would like to shake the rust off of my front end skills and do more UI development, preferably using jQuery.

The company should be in King or Pierce County; either located within an hours drive from Northeast Tacoma, or allow some telecommuting.
