From the most basic echo of Hello World, to the advanced design patterns of class/object-oriented programming, I have experience and knowledge in. From Factory to Observer design patterns, to LDAP, to PDO, etc. MySQL and MS SQL (ODBC) is my strongest suit for database connectivity.

Since the dawn of the internet using html instead of text based(gopher), I have been doing website development. Anything you need to know about HTML or CSS, I can help.

From installation to best practices, I have installed and maintained every Windows Server made, set up and maintained CentOS Linux, Redhat, Fedora, Ubuntu, and SUSE servers and workstations. I have set up WAMP and LAMP stacks and have advanced knowledge of Bitnami, Xampp, Wamp, and misc LAMP Stacks. I also have moderate working knowledge and experience working with cloud-based servers.

I used to be a Network Administrator full time before I became a full time programmer. Since those always went hand in hand, I have engineer level experience with both Microsoft SQL Server (2008 and 2012) and MySQL server as standalone or as a LAMP WAMP stack. I have advanced knowledge in statement building and joining, syntax, and security practices.

I've been developing WordPress sites for my clients for several years. From custom theming to plugin support and even some custom made plugin development.
