My name is Ryan Dekker. I live in Colorado. I'm a web developer. I'd like to think I'm a fantastic one. I'm still learning more everyday, but there isn't much I can't do when it comes to web programming.
Design is a bit of a different story, that's still a work in progress. I am getting better though. I designed ryandekker.com, so that will give you a benchmark.

Present
I have programming in PHP since June 2007. After working as the lead web developer for Precise Hearing in 2007, I have been doing freelance web programming for the past year. Most of my work is using Drupal and building custom sites in PHP.
I have been doing freelance programming since late 2007 and have some of my sites in my projects. Or learn more about my expertise.
Internet Marketing
Throughout the past several years I have become an expert on internet marketing. I worked closely with the marketing team at Precise Hearing and have spent the last year applying tested marketing principles to the web. Combined with my technical knowledge and an understanding of how users relate to the web, I have a well rounded knowledge of how to help sites flourish online.
If you are looking to grow your site, you should check out my marketing approach. I can show you how to cater your site to your users to get more out of your site. I also have an overview of how you can market your site better.
Programming Background
I've been writing HTML since I was 12, and have gradually picked up various other languages. I took a Java class in high school where I learned most of my background for programming. I taught myself C++ and dabbled in Visual C++.
I took a year off from doing anything close to computers a year ago and jumped back into programming last June. I started doing serious web development last summer when I taught myself PHP (building off of books and my previous programming experience).
