I am and have been a PHP developer for many years. I have learned much about how the web development worlds works from many sides. I have developed my own sites, developed sites for other people, managed developers biulding sites, and gone through the proposal process more times than I can count.
I am currently the lead developer for CloudSync, Inc. having taken over that position from the CEO, Nigel Thompson. I am responsible for managing the code base, improving the code base, and mitigating any problems that may come up from previous builds. I have implemented version control software, a build process, and coding standard requirements for all developers who work for me. This has helped to control the build and verify functionality, which reduces risk and keeps our clients much happier.
I wear many hats when I am not at work. Currently, I am doing contract development work in order to pay for a brand new MacBook Pro and I am getting into the field of consulting for web development. What I mean by consulting is that when a company is looking for a website I can translate their needs into geek-speak for the companies who are going to propose the project and then I can translate the proposals into english for my client. I am also able to inspect the proposals for red flags such as low bidding, under estimating, over estimating, and the general tomfoolery that developers typically include in a proposal in order to get a client to sign.
If you are interested in the things that I do and having me come and talk to your company or work on your website, please contact me mkbernier@gmail.com.
