Web and User-Interface Development
I have been developing web applications & interfaces for over 5 years 
. Making great web interfaces and applications for my clients has left me no time to work on my own web site. Well, I hardly need to. I get most jobs by client referrals. Nevertheless, you can still find some information on what I do and a sample of my work and my contact information right here.
Font-end / Interface Development: Design for Usability
I have a background in human-computer interaction and my Master's research was specifically on web usability. Not only I hand-code web interfaces to validate with W3C standards, but I also take great care to make sure my work is verified with web usability & accessibility guidelines (e.g., WCAG).
- Cross-browser compatibility
- All interfaces are developed based on W3C standards, making sure your content is accessible by all devices and search engines.
- I am an expert in cross-browser compatibility. This includes older, non-standard, browsers such as IE6.
- Mobile Web Interfaces
- Mobile-friendly interfaces for a variety of devices including iPhone and Android.
- This page is mobile accessible!
- User-centered Design
- User-friendly design based on existing usability guidelines & standards.
- Initial paper-based prototyping & user interaction walk-through.
- User experience analysis by extracting navigation patterns from existing web logs.
- Empirical & model-based evaluations.
- Designed for Accessibility
- Accessible web interfaces for users of older age and those with disabilities.
- Compatibility with accessibility standards such as W3C WCAG AAA & Section 508 (US).
- Optional support for Braille displays, speech devices, etc.
- Sample of Technology Used
- Verified HTML/XHTML/CSS for the core interfaces.
- Dynamic features using Javascript/DOM/jQuery/JSON/AJAX) as needed.
- A sample of my work is available in my online portfolio.
Web Application and Database Development
- I develop most web applications in PHP.
- PHP is very popular which means it'll work with a variety of existing frameworks and projects.
- I also use Perl, Java, Python, Unix Shell, etc. when needed.
- Rapid development with frameworks (CakePHP).
- When appropriate, a framework can help speed up the development process.
- The module-view-controller architecture guarantees separation of data from the interface. This makes your web application more customizable, maintainable & simply more reliable.
- Linux, Apache & MySQL on web servers.
- LAMP servers have proven to be very efficient and powerful.
- Being open-source, you don't have to worry about licensing fees.
- A sample of other open-source platforms and standards:
- Open Instant Messaging systems (based on XMPP).
- Open source content management systems (Joomla, Pligg, Drupal).
- Open source e-commerce systems (Zen Cart).
- OpenID, oauth, ...
- Experience with other collaborative & social networking applications.
