Welcome

Welcome to ElectroNovelty, the web development and customization service of Phil Glatz

What I do

I'm a professional Drupal developer at consumersearch.com, one of the highest traffic Drupal sites in the world.

I have also been working as an independent contractor and consultant, specializing in Internet and Web development and administration since 1995. My career as a developer started before the web was invented, and I have been present through the various phases of evolution it has taken, and have a good historical perspective of what works (and doesn't).

I still take on the occasional side project as time permits. I have a well-equipped studio with high-speed connectivity, various development machines running Vista and MacOS, and a production Unix server colocated at a high-speeed network center.

My specialties include

• Drupal design, architecture, and customization
• World Wide Web server administration, maintenance, and reporting
• Server-side scripting with PHP, Perl, and bash
• Working with front-end designers and converting their page comps to validated XHTML and CSS
• Web server backend integration with SQL databases (mySQL, PostgreSQL)
• Javascript/jquery for seamless DOM and Ajax integration
• Custom ecom programming using Drupal/Ubercart
• CGI design in Perl, PHP, and C
• Web site architecture
• Provisioning servers, choosing hosting companies
• Unix/Linux system administration
• Usability and human factors integration with technical issues
• HTML design and review

Collaboration

Although much of my works is as a solo creator, I also have a number of collaborative relationships I have developed over the years with designers, software developers, system administration and security experts, and project managers. I work well remotely, keeping in touch with email, phone, Skype, IRC, and other collaboration tools.
