Service (no longer available) - FreeBSD
Created one of the leading Computer Game Enthusiast websites from 1996 to early 2000.
System was based on a back-end database daemon (in Perl) which handled requests from web visitors by accessing records in MySQL and GDBM databases and compositing page layout information with page content information to present the final HTML to the user. This server handled over 20,000 requests a day.
Skills exercised in this position range the gamut of web site and web server maintenance under the FreeBSD operating system, as well as design and implementation of the server itself in Perl.
