Technical Background
Web Technologies:
I am a web programmer since 1998; I am expert in Web Technologies such as HTML, XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, Ajax, PHP and MySQL. My field of action goes from dynamic auto-editable websites such as e-commerce platforms, personal websites with dynamically editable pages to Web applications, intranets, online statistic systems and voIP integration systems..
Client Side: I manage the Web standards of XHTML 1.0, CSS 2.1 and CSS 3following the W3C recommendation. I have studied JavaScript in retail, base don the Mozilla Foundation and The JavaScript Dictionary sources; I have knowledge in DOM manipulation, dynamic CSS, Ajax and XML interpretation. I have created the Scriptor JavaScript framework. I have programmed in compatibility with browsers such as IE7, IE8, IE9, various Firefox, Netscape, Opera 10, Chrome and Safari.
Server Side: I have knowledge of PHP obtained from the php.net sources and from editorials such as O'Reilly and Sams Teach yourself. I can code in procedural or object oriented way, since I have a structured base knowledge in programming languages such as ASSEMBLER, C, C++ and BASIC.
Also, I have knowledge on installing, configuring and maintaining Apache 1.3 and 2.x servers on Windows and Linux, as well as basic knowledge on IIS for Windows (although I prefer to avoid it).
I manage SQL based relational databases and I specialize on MySQL, although I have experience with other engines such as Access, MsSQL, PostgreSQL, I prefer to use the former mentioned. I have knowledge in database design, normalization, data structure architecture, obtained from the experience in system development and complex e-commerce (See Portfolio).
I have also knowledge on Asterisk servers. I have installed and developed applications based on AGI and know the basis of voice over IP.
Operating Systems:
I have operated and investigated about the basics of architecture in a more or less depth on operating systems such as MS-DOS, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista/7, Linux Fedora, Linux CentOS, Linux Ubuntu.
Programming Languages (Desktop):
In addition to my knowledge about Internet Technologies, I have used programming languages learned from sources such as Norton, Kernighan, Borland and Microsoft. Although I have not performed any professional work based on them, I can develop in Assembler, Visual BASIC, C, C++, Python, Visual Basic .NET, C# .NET and C++ .NET.

scriptor
At the dawn of Web 2.0 a lot of programmers used some popular tools
such as Scriptaculous or Prototype to develop their websites. While such libraries
evolved and can be very useful
for the average programmer, they often are very large, overly complex
and not enough flexible for top programming, making the big software companies
to often build a framework on their own.
Using the best of prototype and dojo, but keeping it simple, I've built Scriptor, the tiny javascript framework, in less than 10.000 lines of code providing simple javascript tools such as user defined event system, cookies handling, Http Requests and a component based UI system for complex interface designing.
