Don Petersen

bio:

I am a web developer from Wisconsin specializing in Ruby, with production experience using PHP and Java. Along with HTML and CSS, I am experienced working in ActionScript for Flash sites and components. I also have a strong background in network and systems administration in Windows and Linux environments.

My first introduction to Ruby was through Rails in late 2005, and have been following and using both ever since. Along the way I’ve contributed to several open source gems and plugins. I enjoy interesting projects, test driven development, clean code, and long walks on the beach.

Some of my code is on GitHub, and my resume is available in pdf and plain text formats. You can email me at my first name at this domain, just beware the tricky spelling.
