Write code, not too much, mostly Ruby.
Dan Novak

e-Learning developer, recently moved here from Mystic, CT. I work with a lot of technologies, and hungry to learn more. Specializing mostly in SCORM and AICC, have a lot of experience forcing courses to play nice with Learning Management Systems (LMSes) like Plateau, SumTotal, and Oracle iLearning. Getting my feet wet in C# and ASP.NET in my new role, along with more advanced OOP in ActionScript. Got a hosting account supporting JSP, but haven't figured out what I want to do with it yet. Was playing wth Drupal and other PHP things, but my heart's not really in it.

I am a constant learner, I love science, math, music, and puzzles, and I moved to Portland from Arkansas less than a year ago. It might please my fellow citizens to know that I had not heard of Portlandia until I had already made the decision to move. I am anti-hipster, but that doesn't stop me seeming like one on occasion.
