Intro
I am primarily a LAMP developer, but, am well versed in many c-style languages and am capable of learning almost any programming language or programming construct.
Most of the projects I've been working on lately are either Symfony backend style projects or frontend PSD to HTML type projects with a WordPress backend for Content Management purposes.
Although I mostly do work programming I defintely enjoy scoping out projects and helping put together estimates for agencies.

Qualifications and Education,
Well, education can be a wayward path... I started off in Physics at Waterloo University and moved over to McGill to study Neuroscience and Linguistics. In the end I found myself with a degree in Mathematics and Computer Science. Sometimes I feel like should be good to my body and just make furniture.
This really just means I'm a trained logical thinker who's able to plan ahead and think of the big picture when required.

My philosophy towards web,
