My Job Description

admin — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 21:05:53 +0000

An analyst and developer I’m responsible for “Making Stuff Work”. The job description is tough to explain because it’s so broad, but historically it has included new product development from conception to implementation, high-volume and high-concurrency programming, and a MacGyver-like dedication to squashing bugs.

Here are just some skills at my disposal:

A strong understanding of the web including HTTP, clean URI’s, HTML, and CSS.
A strong understanding of database design and optimisation, especially MySQL.
Proficiency with scripting languages, particularly PHP with Low-level language experience.
Experience running and developing on Open Source platforms like Linux.
The ability to iterate and ship ideas quickly, with loose (at best) direction.
Knowledge of typography and design basics, the ability to create simple and usable interfaces.
Comfortable with customer-facing roles including support and documentation.
Knowledge of how, and when, to optimize PHP and SQL.
