NYCPHP Meetup

[John Joseph Bachir]

I am a computer science graduate of Rice University. I have been working 
at ibiblio.org for the last year and a half, where my primary project has 
been Lyceum, a multi-blog derivative of WordPress. Lyceum is designed to 
be massively scalable and manageable. I am the lead architect on Lyceum, 
where I have been in charge of front and back end design, optimization and 
security concerns, and code standards and management. I manage one other 
junior programmer, and integrate features and bugfixes submitted by our 
users worldwide, often not English speakers.

I recently wrote an article about Lyceum for Red Hat Magazine:

<http://www.redhat.com/magazine/019may06/features/lyceum/>

Also, I will soon be writing for O'Reilly, about blogging best practices, 
and introductory and advanced usage of WordPress.

I am in charge of configuring and administrating source.ibiblio.org, our 
Trac/SVN project management service, so I have extensive experience 
installing and configuring SVN and Trac. When working on Lyceum I live and 
breathe SVN.

Before I was working on Lyceum, I worked on an interactive application 
with a Flash/ActionScript frontend and PHP/MySQL backend. I am very 
familiar with OO ActionScript and Flash paradigms.

I also have been working on a film on and off for 2 years 
[dissent.johnjosephbachir.org], and am very familiar with NLE paradigms, 
and issues involved with video compression and delivery.

My resume is available here:

I am seeking either full-time or consulting work. Projects specifically 
focused on designing and deploying a Lyceum installation or custom plugins 
are especially welcome.

John
