About Me
Introduction
My Name is Rick Rodriguez Jr. I am based out of Plantation, Florida. I have been a PHP L.A.M.P. stack developer professionally since 2000. My skill set and experiences include but are not limited to MySQL, PHP, Jquery, Javascript, HTML, Laravel, and CSS to name a few. I am a great communicator in both English and Spanish. I posses the ability to solve and troubleshoot technical issues as well as always open to learning new technical skills, functional and business concepts. Self initiative is also one of my major skills, with little guidance I can find solutions to an objective. I am able to develop, design, test, implement and analyze any web application. I have been employed with both small to large companies as well as done freelance work on my spare time. Although I am not a full time free lancer, I have done many projects as a free lancer. I am very flexible with my schedule and very reachable either by e-mail (preferred) or by cell phone. Meeting deadlines is very important to me. As long as deadlines are reasonable and fit the scope of the project. I always make it my priority to meet any dead line. All my projects are developed using the most current and stable versions of PHP, MySQL, javascript and JQuery.
