Software experience and services
Extensive experience in C, Perl, PHP and Javascript (8+ years). I've recently adopted Python as my prefered language (1+ year). Plus HTML5 and CSS3.
Eliminating bottlenecks in most parts of the stack — from libevent, to reverse proxies, caching servers, optimised SQL, CDN's all up to CSS sprites.
All SEO from the technical side, including building quality links, auto submitters, content generators, drop catchers and scrappers.
Including project leadership, generating specifications, requirements and timeframes, managing other suppliers, clear reporting.
