I started messing around with databases in 2005 with Microsoft Access. I moved on to Microsoft SQL Server and finally to PHP/MySQL. I picked up XHTML, CSS and JavaScript on the way. I have worked within a Linux server environment before and am fairly comfortable with command line. I continue to pursue as much education/training as I can with regard to PHP MySQL and hopefully soon mobile app development.

15+ years of recruiting experience. Dedicated to finding good jobs for great people.

CEO of Izeni, a Utah custom programming firm specialising in Python, Django, and FreeSWITCH development.

I am a Solutions Engineer (Pre-Sales Engineer) for Alfresco, an Open Source Software start-up, which develops Enterprise Content Management Software.

Prior to working for Alfresco, I was a Software QA Engineer at Novell. I worked on the OES Integration Test Team as the Linux Technical Lead , QA testing components and features of Netware, OES 1 and 2 and SLES 10. I covered storage aspects of those products (Netware: Hardlinks, NFS APIs, Byte Range and Cross-Protocol Byte Range Locks, OPLocks; OES Linux: NSS Hardlinks, NSS NFS APIs, NSS VFS, NSS xAttr; SLES10: Mulitpath and Storage Management). I also worked on install, configuration, virtualization with XEN, LUM (Linux User Management), Patching and Updates, and Dynamic Storage Technologies (Shadow Volumes).

I am a workaholic and a father of five (soon to be six!). I keep reminding myself that I need to get a hobby outside of a computer. (My wife says I have two wives, her and my laptop.)

I like to play chess and go. I enjoy music and learning new things (why does this sound like a personal ad?)

In a previous life I worked as a J2EE Developer/ Architect for the US 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans, Louisiana. While employed by the Federal Courts I also worked as Internet Administrator for about 50+ different Federal Courts (a service we provided), on the Help Desk and as a PC Technician.
