Software Developer, Media Nut, and Proud Father of Two

The time has come for me to depart from AssignByWeb. While I leave the comfort and security of a job that I have invested so much in, I am moving on to bigger and better things. I'm thankful for what they have done for me, but the grass finally looks greener elsewhere and thanks to my good friend Tim, I have the chance I have been looking for for quite some time now. Next week is my last day, and nothing personal, but I hope it will be the last time I have to work for them. While there are plenty of negative things I could say, I won't. They have done plenty of good for me, and while there is a lot of history between us, it is finally coming to an end. I will not be burning any bridges since I'm too nice of a guy to do such a thing, almost, arguably, to a fault.

I put a notice of sorts in about two weeks ago that I was looking for another job. I had a few promising leads at the time, but they have ultimately lead to disappointment, and with one, utter frustration. Early in June I was contacted by a job recruiter (on a Saturday of all days) about a six month contract to hire position with Chevron as a front end developer, with a little bit of server side. One of the requirements was that the developer be able to hand code valid XHTML, CSS, ASP and JS code; so they wanted a person that didn't depend on a WYSIWYG editor. This was perfect because I hate using programs that write my code for me and I enjoy doing front end development. By the end of our conversation the job recruiter and I were convinced that I was exactly what Chevron wanted. Or so we thought.

Hello, hallo, hola, and bonjour! My name is Matthew Miller and welcome to my site. I am a Senior Developer for Stayhealthy, Inc. and a freelance web developer for various churches and organizations. I love what I do, whether it's writing JavaScript, CSS, XHTML, PHP, or even learning a new programming language. If you want to contact me for a chat or for some help, feel free; if I'm unable to help, you will likely get a response of "one sec," which may lead to a 30+ minute wait. If you're interested in seeing my formal resume in Word or PDF format, please contact me.
