      <description>I began as a taxonomy analyst, helping train the language processing system on the back-end of the company's product.  I soon picked up PHP in order to provide extra features to my team which were not present in the software which we were using.  I set up, administered, and maintained multiple Apache/MySQL installations (development and production).  These servers ran on Windows Server 2003.

Later, I developed, tested, and supported a web-based taxonomy editor for the taxonomy team which utilized AJAX techniques with a PHP/MSSQL backend.  In addition, I worked on a C#.NET-based web application for training a separate component of the company's product.

Shortly before leaving I helped the development team by assiting in the transition from my open-source web editor to a .NET version.</description>
