About - brianwebb.org
I’m Brian Webb, and this site is my personal portfolio and blog. I am a software developer, designer, and all around technology evangelist. Here you will find the latest projects that I've worked on as well as some of the problems and ideas that I'm currently tackling or pondering.
I program in a wide array of languages and frameworks, including Ruby, Ruby On Rails, ActionScript, Flex, PHP, ASP.NET, C#, VB, Java, Perl, Python, C/C++ and others. I also have experience in information security and systems architecture and administration on platforms such as Windows Server, Linux, OS X, BSD and others.
The challenge of creating something from nothing is what drives me, not just to create software, but to learn and adapt to the changing needs of the industry to always be on the cutting edge.
