About Me

• I enjoy programming in loosely typed, functional programming languages, especially those built specifically for dynamic web applications. Something like PHP or JavaScript (although Python has piqued my interest lately).
• I like web standards... a lot. If you're going to take the time to work in web application development, deliver a product that will work and look the same now, later and in most browsers. If you aren't sure you're doing it right, try turning JavaScript and CSS off... can you still use your application?
• I am a recent graduate of Binghamton University where I received a B.S. in Computer Science.
• I am always interested in new opportunities, especially those dealing with new web-based technologies.
• I am something of a foodie, the most adventurous thing I've ever made would have to be the William Sonoma Classic Birthday Cake [williams-sonoma.com].
• That is the short list that describes me, although some additional information is available at the following websites:
  • I was interviewed in June 2007 as a web application developer interested in contributing to Open Source projects: Interview with Jake McGraw @ Innovation Ads [freesoftwaremagazine.com]
  • I was interviewed in February 2006 for a profile of seniors at Binghamton University: Senior: It's Cool to be a Geek [binghamton.edu]
  • Here I have a listing of all the social networks I'm a part of, you can tell the interns in HR they can stop googling me:
    • Facebook [facebook.com]
    • MySpace [myspace.com]
