Me, myself and I

I am Rian Orie, a twenty five year old PHP developer from the Netherlands. I've spent the last seven years of my life dedicated to learning as much as I can about the industry and PHP itself.

While I started out my working life as a systems engineer the past few years I've worked several interesting jobs in the development business. I've worked as a front-end developer for a design studio, a lead backend developer for a media and entertainment company and several freelance clients. Since September 2009 I've picked up freelancing as a web-developer permanently to able to work on a wider range of different clients.

I live together with my wife just outside of Amsterdam, in whatever tiny ounce of spare time I have left I really enjoy going out and just be around people with friends. I'm a sucker for movies and chinese food, I would suggest any sort of bribing attempt would thus need to include one or the other to gain some advantage to your end goal.

I focus on building webbased systems that are fast and scalable using the latest and greatest webstandards. I built most all of my applications on known open standards, meaning there is always someone who knows how to deal with it, even if it's not me.
