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!!


A Return to Rails

So I have been coding in PHP for a pretty long time. Lately I have been feeling a bit burned out…and I was not sure what was the cause. I started to rewrite a project I had started on in Symfony using Rails and the source of my burn out became clear! So I have been throwing my self back into Rails and I am enjoying it very much! Stay tuned for more thoughts on my return to Rails as I dive deeper!
