Well, I was born on a normal day in July, 1981 and have been creating chaos ever since. Born in North Carolina, but raised in the aftermath of the Soviet Union, Kazakhstan, I have been messing around with computers nearly my entire life. I wrote my first program in assembly when I was 11. In my early teens I ran a BBS connected to Fidonet and started building a website for my band. In 1999 I was introduced to Linux, and it was love at first compile. I started my career in IT in the early 2000's doing IT for a Car Dealership in Charlotte NC. I wrote my first major web app in Cold Fusion (an ecom app) at that time. In 2006 I left Charlotte and moved down to Columbia where starting working as a developer, freelancer and consultant. Currently I am working as a freelance developer and DevOps consultant!!


Developing on the Mac

\n The main reason that I made the switch from Linux to the Mac was the desire for a streamlined and simply put “easy” development enviroment. I currently can say that I have found utopia. For starters, Coda is everything that a developer could want in a package that one thought would never be possible. Then, I discovered a bunch of Dashboard widget that assist in the development process as well. The dashboard is great because it sits transparently over the page, displaying information. I have a widget that monitors MySql, one that gives me access to the complete PHP documentation, Ruby Documentation as well as searches for Ruby Classes, HTML, CSS and PHP. I even have a cool widget that can measure screen pixels!
