I work part-time for Fresh Roasted Hosting in downtown Harrisburg; however, my primary career is as a Training Lead for an American multinational information technology corporation. My passions lie in instructional design, distance education, and educational technology. I love evaluating technologies and techniques, and wondering, how can this be used to educate? From enhancing in-person sessions, to presenting virtually, to eLearning and just-in-time training modules available on demand, delivering effective education to teammates working in diaspora. That’s what I love to figure out.
A Barcamp Harrisburg first-timer, I am not sure what to expect though I am very intrigued. I will be coming eager to learn and share.

I’m an interactive designer/developer at Hauck Interactive, Inc. and teach at Harrisburg Area Community College (I’m also a BarCampHbg organizer).
I’ll probably present on HTML5 Canvas, as I recently migrated my spring curriculum towards using it.
It was pretty cool seeing such diverse topics as Arduino and security at last year’s event. I’m looking forward to being surprised this year.

At last years Harrisburg Barcamp, I attended a presentation on “what to learn next”, it was outstanding. The moderator was exceptional and I hope he can present again.
I had been looking at PHP, Drupal, Ruby, Python and others trying to make that very decision prior to the meeting. Another attendee mentioned that SQL hadn’t changed in
more than 15 years so why not just stay with that?
With more than 10 years of Sybase, SQL Server experience using T-SQL, Stored Procedures, Triggers and more that thought triggered(no pun intended) my thoughts on a direction.
It was just what I needed to decide on the next step of my career.
Making use of my extensive database background and applying that to other technologies was the perfect solution. I am using my DB experience as the base and working with it using PHP and Drupal on my personal website.
