Profile
This is the personal site of Dan Grossman, web developer and entrepreneur. I create web applications that help people get the most out of their websites. View my portfolio to see some of my past work.
Background
I have been building websites since 1996. From 2001-2004 I freelanced as a web developer while earning my BS in Computer Science. I completed 6-month internships at The Math Forum, DuPont and Microsoft before graduating.
In 2004 I started Awio Web Services LLC, a company which develops web applications and software to serve individuals and small businesses doing business on the internet. I spend most of my time maintaining, improving and marketing these services with over 50,000 collective users, and turning new ideas into products.
In March 2010 I completed a MS in Computer Science at Drexel University.
Skills
I take ideas from concept to finished product, then grow them into successful businesses. I have experience developing web applications in PHP, Python and Ruby and desktop software in C# .NET, Java and C++. I’ve used several frameworks including Symfony for PHP, Rails for Ruby and Struts for Java.
I have designed, implemented and optimized database schemas and queries for MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle. I’m an expert WordPress developer, having developed numerous open source and commercial themes and plugins.
I run all of the infrastructure that powers Awio’s web applications and other services. I administrate RHEL/CentOS and Ubuntu servers, including initial setup and security hardening, software installation, compiling software from source and configuring services. I have experience deploying and maintaining Amazon EC2 instances, bundling custom EC2 instances, and making use of Amazon EBS and Amazon S3.
Availability
I am regularly available to take on short-term, well-defined projects. I’d love to build you a WordPress plugin or custom develop a new feature for your website. I can even help turn your business idea into a fully functioning website.
If you have a project for me, please use this contact form or mail dan@dangrossman.info to get in touch.
