FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS, I'VE BEEN DEVELOPING APPLICATIONS FOR THE WEB USING MOSTLY PHP. I DO THIS FOR A LIVING AND LOVE WHAT I DO AS EVERY DAY THERE IS SOMETHING NEW AND EXCITING TO LEARN. IN MY SPARE TIME, THE WEB DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY IS A BIG PART OF MY LIFE. WHETHER TEACHING CODE TO KIDS AT A LOCAL SCHOOL, MANAGING ONLINE PROGRAMMING GROUPS AND BLOGS OR ATTENDING A CONFERENCE, I FIND KEEPING INVOLVED HELPS ME STAY UP TO DATE. THIS IS ALSO MY CHANCE TO GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY THAT HELPED ME GET STARTED, A PLACE I AM PROUD TO BE PART OF. BESIDES PROGRAMMING I LOVE SPENDING TIME WITH FRIENDS
