To connect people to their passions, communities, and the worlds knowledge. -- While I didnt write this phrase, since hearing it for the first time I have realized that this is the best way to describe my own personal objective in life. I love helping people to find things they are passionate about and helping them grow and leverage those passions. I love buildingcoding tools and experiences which help people to connect with their communities and loved ones in better and more rich ways. I love teaching others new things and sharing my own knowledge and experience with everyone possible. Its through these things, as well as connecting people with others in various ways to make things happen, and enabling things otherwise not possible, that I feel I can have the biggest impact in the workplace, my personal life, and subsequently on the world as a whole. My experience ranges from a project I alone developed averaging about -k pageviewsday (at the time) all the way to architecting the PHP framework and coding a large chunk of a project with s millionsday. I am confident in being able to handle a project of virtually any scale and can easily help deliver high performance results. Specialties Programming Languages PHP, Javascript, Ruby, Adobe Flex (including experience w Adobe AIR), Actionscript (and to a much lesser extent AS), Python, C, C, Perl, HaXe General Photography (I used to handle a large chunk of Yahoos PR headshots as well as many corporate events), Evangelism (just look at what I did to my car, httpwww.flickr.comphotosjeremyjohnstone, while at Yahoo for example), and Community Developer outreach efforts
