Developer By Day

I'm a web developer by day, and what I do at night is my own damn business.   I'm fortunate to have gained some very unique experience during my 6-7 years of developing.   I've been a contractor, a manager, a code monkey and a consultant.  All of which have shaped me into a pretty resilient and productive team member.   The one area where I don't have a lot of breadth is my toolset of languages.  I am a faithful PHP/MySql developer and for the past 2 years I've worked exclusively with the MVC framework CodeIgniter.   I've toyed around with ActionScript a bit and recently started to develop a taste for Flex.     Working with Heysan for the past year has given me more depth with PHP and Codeigniter, but since our interface is tailored for mobile devices, the level of CSS/JavaScript I've encountered has been minimal at best.

I really enjoy working with PHP, and I'm not going to stop anytime soon.  My entrepreneurial desires are starting to flame more and more over time and I think I have the perfect toolset for experimenting with creative web apps and content sites.  I want the focus of this blog to be tidbits of inspiration and jewels of experience I come across that inspire me to create, build business, or just do things with more common sense.

My name is Aaron and I work the dayshift :)

Update: I'm now working with Python and Django. I'm also using much more JavaScript. Even though I miss working at Heysan, I'm stoked about learning new technology and playing with JS a little more.
