Lately I have been more focused on data integrations and APIs. </p> <p>I can write in many languages and know several open source frameworks. I prefer PHP using Laravel for writing APIs or quick applications. I use Drupal for content based sites. When doing data integrations for enterprises I will often write services in C#. I have built sites in the .Net MVC when companies don't want to run PHP. I also know my way around several of the AWS services.</p> <p>I hack on node.js and the many JavaScript front end frameworks that are out there when I am playing around. I try to attend local PHP, API, Drupal, and Node.js meetups whenever possible.</p> <p>I would love a chance to work on node for an enterprise client but have yet to convince one of my existing ones to let me do so.</p> introduction
