Yaz's Flavours?
Profile
Summary
I'm a PHP developer and a front-end developer.
I have experience building web applications and CMS tools. I have been involved in building page creators, blogs, dynamic forms, surveys, event systems, media galleries, dynamic FAQ tools, CRM, project management web apps, along many others.
I have experience in PHP, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SMARTY, HTML5, CSS3, Javascript and Javascript libraries (Protoscripty + jQuery).
I am also a front-end developer with experience integrating websites and responsive designs.
I've had experience managing small teams of people, with both large and small projects in the non-for-profit sector and in for-profit companies. I've been responsible for the planning and creation of specification documents for clients and developers alike.
Also, as team leader, I have been involved in building large scale projects from the ground up. I take particular interest in database architecture and base structure for websites.
My focus are CMSs, online communities and web apps.
