About

I am a software developer specializing in web applications written in JavaScript, PHP, Python, and Ruby. I am continually keeping myself up-to-date by learning new languages and frameworks and reading about the newest techniques in software design. I enjoy the fast-paced culture that surrounds today's web industry. It is never boring. There is always something new to learn. http://alexsears.com https://github.com/searsaw
