Many of the websites that we use everyday are more than just informative, they provide a variety of services, for example, banking websites or social media sites. Often these websites connect to back-end services to provide the functionality. These back-end systems often need to connect to databases to store information, process the information through a number of rules, and present this information to the user. This is my particular strong-suit, designing and developing these systems that manipulate the data as needed.

I'm a strong believer in using MVC Architecture to cleanly separate the data manipulate, the data storage, and the user views.

Developing application platforms is another aspect of my development experience.
