I began coding custom shopping carts using Perl CGIs and MySQL in a “LAMP” environment in 1998, and started coding far before that at a very young age.
Most recently, I have been working as Chief Marketing Officer/Lead Developer of Highest Quality Leads, a high quality leadgen startup with a concentration in green business market verticals. Here I have excelled in my original core skill set as PHP/MySQL developer, but have found great joy in being able to expand into utilization of Java, JDBC, and Hibernate for multithread-intensive data mining operations. In the completion of my most recent project, I successfully managed designers, content writers, link builders, social media marketers, and others. I also found new ways to make UI geo-location functionalities truly scalable via internal algorithms, pre-cached data, and distance calculation.
In my role as CMO, I have also gained the ability to analyze what I like to refer to as the PPC statistical “topography” utilizing a few custom data gathering tools along with the ability to export statistical market data into a SQL database for algorithmic analysis. Low Quality Scores, say goodbye!
I have been employed in the past as a contractor and engaged in various emerging partnerships with several websites, as a developer, SEO/PPC expert, and ol’ school network marketer.
I have coded multiple custom CMS’s from scratch using common design patterns/frameworks and I have built multiple custom themes and modules for WP and Drupal. My tools of habit are PHP/MySQL with jQuery as JS lib (and for high-level ajax’ian ops), but I am in love with Java/Eclipse, and I see myself eventually inscribing a hieghtened poetry with a hybrid mix of Spring framework, DAO’s, JSP/Servlet, and Hibernate Templates.
I am also a lifelong classical violinist (former child prodigy–no, seriously!) and book author on how to heal AIDS naturally in one’s kitchen (seriously). That is why I threw together my WordPress sites: http://PaulYeagerViolin.com and http://ImmuneTheBook.com …
Looking forward to working with you!
