I have 8 years experience in software development and 3 years in network management.
I believe the simplest solution is usually the best, and that good architecture and good documentation are worth spending time on.
I believe that standards should be strictly followed whenever possible, as they permit reuse and encourage compatibility.
I am familiar with a variety of language types (OOP, prototype-chain, functional, dynamic, strictly typed), and can pick up new ones quickly.
I have a lot of experience helping users use software - this really helps me when designing interfaces. UIs should be simple, obvious, responsive, and pretty.
I have written device drivers, designed (many) client applications, and several web sites. I love to learn new languages and technologies. Websites: http://youngfoundations.org/ http://quickkeydotnet.sourceforge.net/ http://codeplex.com/SuperCopy
Open Source Projects:
Quick Key http://quickkeydotnet.sourceforge.net For font and character work, and for typing symbols and foreign characters quickly. Written almost seven years ago, it ran perfectly on Vista without any modifications. The interface needs to be simplified, and I am planning to rewrite it in WPF.
SuperCopy http://codeplex.com/SuperCopy A wrapper for XCOPY, written in 2005. I later learned advanced CSS selectors and Object-oriented javascript. It is useful nonetheless, and has only 2 dependencies: IE and XCopy. An interesting study in batch files and output parsing.
http://youngfoundations.org Built on a new ground-breaking content management system that stores content as files, yet caches them to a database to provide speed and query flexibility. This design permits articles and pages to be created in a desktop application such as Expression Web, but also edited online from any location.
Languages C#, Flex 3, AIR, .NET, C, C++, VB6, VB.NET, VBScript, ECMAScript 3.0, ASP.NET, SQL (2000 + 2005), XHTML+CSS, XML, XSLT, Object-oriented Javascript, Actionscript 3, Folio, Maple, and more.
Technologies Microsoft Exchange, DNS, DHCP, FTP, IIS (5, 6, & 7), Active Directory, SSL, ISA Server (2004+2006), Sysprep, OWA, Microsoft Installer, NSIS (awesome), Linux, WSUS, XP, Vista, COM, Registry, TCP/IP, Windows Media Serives (streaming audio/video), and SMTP.
Primary applications Notepad, GVim, Firebug, Visual Studio 2005, CS3 (Flash, Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Acrobat), MS Office, Open Office, and hundreds of lesser lifesavers.
Specialties Software architecture and patterns, algorithm efficiency, AJAX, UI design, deployment & packaging, SEO (See below), web design, regular expressions, networking, server configuration, databases, 3D modeling, graphic design, DirectX, drivers (USB), wireless security, authentication systems, content storage, XML, text proccessing, text encodings, Unicode, multimedia, text parsers, and multi-threading.
Note about SEO It's over-hyped. Google actually works on very simple principles.
Pick one keyword to focus on per page.
Your title tag is very important. Google knows that it can trust it, because the title tag can't be changed by CSS or javascript. Keep it short, and descriptive. Never use the same title for any two pages on your site.
Your URL is important. Sites with a higher pagerank (like Wikipedia) cause all of their pages to be ranked higher.
URLs should be short (like titles) and reflect the same keyword as the title.
You need good links. Google never indexes a site unless somebody links to it. Pages that link to you should have your preferred keyword between the anchor tags.
Content should be worthwhile - it needs to draw links from PEOPLE. Standards compliance helps.
Don't try to cheat the system. It is dishonest, and won't work anyway.
These rules have helped me keep my various sites in the top 5 search results.
