  <objective>
    <para>
      I am a self-taught web developer with several years commercial experience.  I specialize in Ruby on Rails development with MySQL databases. I markup  pages with semantic XHTML and style them with CSS adhering to W3C  specification when possible. This is often combined with javascript to  create dynamic and engaging user interactions. I have solid PHP skills  backed by three years of professional experience. I have built out several  high profile sites using Drupal and have contributed the User Relationships  module back to the Drupal community. I am an efficient and self-motivated learner.
