In the mid 90s, helped with Mac office automation with Applescript, then got into Perl, then PHP. Starting in 2000, worked with PHP/MySql/Javascript for several years, created a CMS, and with 2 friends, started a business to commercialize CMS/blog software, competing with TypePad. Closed down in 2006, but continued to work with same friends, built video sites such as http://www.ihanuman.com/store.php . Lead team including Flash programmer, designer, QA, sysadmin, etc.
Also worked at catalog company and used the new Adobe API to use Javascript to automate Photoshop/InDesign workflow. Wrote a short book about the API: http://www.cafepress.com/adobescripting . For awhile taught classes to aspiring designers about the API.
Used Ruby/Rails for projects in 2006 and 2011 and 2013.
Used PHP/Symfony framework for most projects from 2008 to 2011.
Have mostly worked with Clojure for the last year.
I am devoting this autumn to working on my own website, so I am not available for full time work. If you have a specific project you'd like me to tackle, I'd be happy to help, especially if it will likely take less than a month.
A decent amount of info is on my LinkedIn profile: http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=20084&trk=tab_pro
