John's face
Hi, I'm John.

Resume

Bio

I am a full stack web developer with over ten years of experience building software for companies of all sizes in a variety of industries.

Currently, I enjoy working in PHP and JavaScript using Symfony and Backbone, and I never start a project without Vagrant.

In the future, I'd be interested in taking both Ruby on Rails and Laravel deeper than the simple CRUD apps I've built to vet them, and I'd love to get comfortable enough with Docker to be able to replace Vagrant.
