Most of my over 7 years of commercial experience in web development and design have been dedicated to developing web e-commerce applications using a custom built platform therefore I have a great deal of experience with PHP4, PHP5, mySQL and postgreSQL but also Javascript, AJAX, CSS 2 and HTML DOM. In the last year I have been using extensively the Zend Framework and the jQuery javascript framework.
I have developed under both Linux and Windows platforms, but each time using open-source environments such as Eclipse or NetBeans. From the Linux distributions I have worked with Ubuntu, Fedora Core, BackTrack and CentOS, also acquiring some limited administration skills.
Aside from my technical skills, I consider myself to be a friendly and highly adaptive individual that can work well in any environment. Although I am used to working mostly as part of a team, I can take individual initiative when the situation demands it.
Joining an enthusiastic and disciplined team of web developers in an environment that encourages professional development as well as personal development while putting my current skills to use and allowing me to learn new ones.
