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!!


Happy Anniversary

My blog just hit an anniversary. The very first post in the blog was in July 2008. Looking back over the years a lot has changed. A lot hasn’t. I’ve been through some jobs. Been through some laptops. Changed my linux a few times….and my tool stack =). I’ve had a few Macs and a few smart phones. I’ve blogged about php, Javascript, C++, perl, python and node js. I’ve discussed Vagrant, Chef, Ant and a bunch of other tools for DevOPs and Continuous Integration. My blog has seen WordPress, hand rolled Rails and PHP. I’ve used it to display a feed for Posterous (R.I.P.) and I used flat file based systems both in perl and in ruby. Currently it is Ghost, in Node JS.

As I look to the future, who know what will change! I know that one things will not change…I’ll never stop changing things up!
