My name is John Repici. I'm your humble host and developer
here on the site. Although Creativyst is a corporation, for the time being I'm the only guy here. :-)
So, if there's anything I can do for you, please don't hesitate to ask...
in the
forums,
or by
contacting me directly.
Background
Coming from a hardware background,
I've been programming professionally since the mid 1980s. My experience
has spanned most forms of programming and design from Assembler (Z80, 6800,
x86, and other embedded processors), to Win32 (Access, VB, Borland C/++,
Visual C/++). This has also included a variety of non-windows proprietary
platforms, such as IBM's 4680 store controller systems.
More recently I've had the distinct pleasure and opportunity to learn
and produce
non-trivial web-based development projects for clients. These
platform-independent applications use a variety
of pan-platform tools, such as Perl, JavaScript, MySQL, etc.
in a combination that is sometimes referred to as "LAMP".
Basically
The short version:
I am very
good at most things having to do with software development.
This includes software design, helping customers to understand
their requirements, what is possible, and whether its worth
doing in the first place. Also the minimum stuff like specifying,
coding, delivery, and training.
Downside Sampler
In the interest of honesty and transparency I should also share
some of my shortcomings. I'm a truly lousy salesperson. I
tend to want to re-invent wheels, though I
make a considerable effort to compensate for this known issue.
I don't like to adopt new technologies until it is reasonably
certain they will be around for a while.
One more thing, I often
use the original names
for stuff that has recently been renamed to sound new and
exciting (read: "marketable").
For example, I might say "library
grade functions" instead of "re-usable methods"
("you say 'aspect weaver', i say 'function library', let's call
the whole thing off").
