I'm a freelance web developer originally from Saskatchewan, Canada but now am living in Ottawa France back in Saskatchewan!

As my giant heading above states, I do a lot of dabbling. I would say that 80% of my dabbling time is jQuery related and the other 20% is related to thinking about jQuery. If you didn't already notice, I am truly passionate about the jQuery framework.

In September 2008, I released a little app called TaxiMe. The app was very well received and was even featured in the Ottawa Metro. The site can calculate fares in many North American cities and retains a steady amount of traffic as it continues to grow.

Time to put on my professional hat - if you're looking to hire me, here is what I specialize in:

XHTML/CSS

I can take your beautiful Photoshop design, do some slicing and deicing and transform it into rich, pure, standards compliant HTML and CSS markup.

JavaScript (jQuery/YUI/MooTools)

If your site goes beyond static HTML and requires some fancy effects, drag and drop interfaces or more complicated functionality, I can help do whatever it takes to make sure the user experience is a top priority.

PHP/MySQL

I can provide you with any back-end programming that you might need, whether it be a simple addition to your existing website or a large-scale web application. For rolling out larger web applications, my framework of choice is CakePHP.

WordPress Integration and Plugin Development

I believe every one should be in control of their content, and what a better way of achieving this than through WordPress. I can help you turn your statically driven HTML site into a dynamic playground for you to edit and modify at your own will. If you require functionality that goes beyond a basic WordPress integration, I can develop and customize any plugins that you might need to operate your site.
