- Chris Barrett -
I've worked on enterprise level
applications, small business sites, with open source projects, games
and simulations, and many things in between with languages from Java
to PHP to JavaScript (no Erlang or Clojure however).
I currently work
in the Academic Technology world,
where for the past 2 years I've developed several educational
games and simulations. I was the primary developer on each of those
projects and sometimes project manager as well.
While developing these games and simulations, I have found a passion
in providing solutions that are a fusion of back and front end
development that create a seamless, rich web app. I've started
freelance work recently, but I have been a professional developer for
7 years.
