I am returning to freelancing after working a couple of full-time jobs. I'm currently rebuilding my client list and would like to find one or more long-term clients. Previously many of my clients were referrals from web designers and other clients. My web programming experience started over 20 years ago when I worked for three years writing CGI programs in Perl and C. The sites were hosted on Unix servers with a Sybase database server. My skill set has evolved with the internet. I have experience writing, maintaining, debugging and documenting custom PHP. As a freelancer I initially worked with Perl and procedural PHP then expanded my skills to include PHP MVC frameworks and JavaScript. My recent focus has been on Zend Framework with jQuery on the front-end. Some of my Zend Framework Experience: -- Fred Loya Insurance - company intranet, worked full-time on the web development team for over a year, added new features and created shell scripts for data exchange to/from third parties -- JobBoardNetwork.com - part-time maintenance of ZF1 web site, fixed bugs and added new features, upgraded from original (circa 2008) PHP, MySQL and ZF versions -- Learn.LiveWireCompliance.com - server move and maintenance programming, ZF version update, fixed problems introduced by other freelancers -- FloralAmbiance.com / AlbertsonsFloralMarketcom / FlowerBunchSV.com - debugging and enhancements; ZF multi-slte on a Windows server -- ConnectHer.org - my first complex ZF site; another company provided the HTML, images and CSS; I created the database tables and put the site together with Zend Framework; Note: my name is in the footer of each page
