Who I am

My name is Jay Hayes. I am a husband and programmer. I am a 26 year old CS graduate from the University of Alabama in Huntsville. My wife and I live in Florence, Alabama and own a dance studio (http://soledancestudio.com). Over the past few years, I have developed a deep passion for doing web development *right*. I don't claim to know it all, but I am always working to improve my craft.

What I've done

• Designed, developed, and maintained large web applications
• Created, configured, and managed application servers
• Worked in a test-first fashion
• Worked on an "agile" team
• Invested many hours in learning as much as possible in the web development sphere
• Listened to hundreds of hours of podcasts to keep up with the latest in the community

Where I'm going

My recent work has driven me to learn and use a lot of amazing open source projects. I strive to become more involved in the open source community. I want to surround myself with people who are a lot smarter than me so that I can continually grow as a professional programmer. I never want to stop learning!
