**in progress.

My name is John Petrilli. I live in Nassau County, Long Island NY. In my professional life I do contract work and for the past 6 years I have been working full time for a major interactive/marketing agency on Long Island as the head of the IT department.

I have a lot of different hobbies, most of which you will read a out on this website. As personal as this website is I try to make things more generic and useful for the vast majority of you.

Programming and technology: most of what I do revolves around these two subjects.
The languages I use mostly are php, cocoa, cocoa touch, perl, and c. Obviously this is all depending on the application that I am programming for. I tend to find that for most web, even some backend scripts, php with some javascript (Ajax etc) will get the job done with the easiest, cleanest, most reliable and reusable code. You will also see me discuss hardware and infrastructure a lot. As well as gadgets (I am writing this on my iPad).

Photography: I do a bit of photography here and their. I don’t claim to be any good but it is very enjoyable and helps me relieve some stress.

Contract work for hire: I do some contract work here and there. I am never actively looking for contract/freelance work because most of the time I would rather fill my time with personal projects or my hobbies. If you wanted to contact me please go ahead. I will warn you though I get hundreds of requests a week and I do not take on small projects.
