I'm a history student turned web developer with a degree from the University of Chicago. I've developed lots of sites using lots of technologies for businesses, non-profits, and friends.
Recently, I've been working with Ruby on Rails and jQuery. But I also have experience using many other technologies, including WordPress, PHP, MySQL, Redmine, Unix, MacRuby and more. I even do a little design now and then.
