Re: [dcphp-dev] Introductions

Greetings all,

My name is Tracy and while I'm mostly a front-end developer, I do a lot of work theming PHP-based CMS systems, preferably WordPress but I've also done Drupal work.  I've been working with PHP since 1999 (way back to PHP 3!) and it's my preferred back-end language.  I occasionally make it to the DCPHP meetups, but you can always find me at the WordPress DC meetups and usually at the DC Drupalers meetups.

In my long (by web standards) career, I've worked for Marriott International here, then spent about 6 years in San Francisco where I worked for vivid Studios (the web development agency, not the, uh, adult entertainment purveyor) and what is now an Avocent subsidiary (where I wrote a very rudimentary PHP CMS). Then moved back here to work for the Discovery Channel (no PHP there :-( ) and a federal contractor.  Now I'm doing freelancing and independent contracting doing (what else?) WordPress and Drupal theming mostly.

Follow my thoughts on front end development, what my kids are doing, and all things NFL on Twitter at @taupecat.

It's been a good long while since everybody on the list has introduced themselves and said what they do. This will help us know who's on the list and give new people an idea of the range of talent they have to draw on by asking questions of the list.

I'll kick it off:

I'm Sandy Smith, and I organize DCPHP along with Barry Austin (DC Beverage Subgroup) and Brock Boland (He Who Keeps This List Free of Recruiter Spam).

I've been working with PHP since '99. I'm a child of the 80's and grew up on BASIC (C-64) and then tried my hand at other professions before settling on tech. Most of my career has been spent consulting (mostly building/configuring CMSes, both custom and Drupal) for DC-area clients, especially nonprofits, but recently I've been more in the startup world. I was a cofounder of mojoLive.com and have a new company that does both consulting and products called Muskteers.me. We just started a Kickstarter for two new products if you want to check it out: http://kck.st/QjQZho

Who's next?
