I am a programmer with a strong database background. With 18+ years of experience in web development, I've seen technologies come and go - but robust design is always a must. I enjoy the puzzle of a piece of code, and the fact that there's always more solutions to be found for a problem.
I'm also a public speaker at PHP conferences, and co-founder of the SweetlakePHP user group.

I have been with Future500 since the beginning, taking care of everything non-code. I do this part-time, because it would drive me insane to be in the office 5 days a week. Especially since I'm also married to Ramon. I can't escape him at home.
My tasks include the bookkeeping, invoicing, contract management and keeping the developers focussed on coding (by denying their requests for days off).

I'm the office dog. I bark loudly at the doorbell, then greet whoever actually comes in. Other than that, I mostly sleep and eat tennis balls.
