Philosophy
I like coding data driven web applications.  The technology does not matter as
much, since in my 10 years of experience, I have debugged or written code in
almost all the top languages.  I write modular, extensible code which can be used
across multiple pages/applications and is highly dynamic in output.  I can
organize the project, work in a team or work solo.  What I really look for, is a
knowledgeable and task oriented management team.
