About Me
Todd joined the MindActive team in 2009. After studying computer-science at MWSC, Todd received his Linux+ certification in 2002. Todd now leads the charge in the fast paced growth that a digital firm requires. Building responsive web-applications, which serve traffic in the millions/day, as well as developing AR mobile apps, and REST-ful web-services for clients who demand high-performance geo-location, and content APIs.
Todd’s vast skill and expertise is broad ranged. The short list includes:
Creates, tests and deploys applications on LAMP stacks and developing products that deploy mobile apps in javascript.
Develops code in PHP, using php-frameworks like “zend”, and offering significant experience using javascript in AJAXy type contexts, think jQuery, especially in robust LAMP-based CMS systems like drupal, wordpress, and Joomla, as well as developing numerous shopping-cart sites using platforms like Magento.
Broad know-how in sysadmin, esp DNS and CA/cert integrations, deploying tools that allow for test-stage-prod deployment automation and extensive use of pro-active mitigation utilities like fail2ban, as well as real-time detail and aggregate reporting using zabbix.
Todd’s heroes are Douglas Crockford, Linus Torvalds, and Bill Murray.
He likes disco, country-blues, and hip-hop, but not always in that order.
His favorite movie quote is “the dude abides”
