Welcome to LoudProgrammer Blog – A blog on software, business and personal productivity.
Hey, I’m Geoffrey. I’m a software developer and blogger.
I have 7+ years’ experience building web services, APIs and web applications. My expertise is centered on PHP, JavaScript and Ruby. This is my story so far…
I started trying to figure out all this “web stuff” in mid-2008, and since then I’ve experienced my share of success and failures.
I was tired of beating the well-trodden path of doing something I didn’t really enjoy just to get along.
So I decided to focus my life efforts on doing what I believed was really great, and that was building stuff.

My journey has been full of ups and downs.
One major thing I have learnt is that software development is more about people than about computers as most often thought.
After meeting, exchanging ideas and learning a lot from influencers I decided I wanted to put this material in a central place where I could share it with my buddies who would greatly benefit from these past experiences nonetheless.
That saw the birth of the LoudProgrammer Blog.
What original started as a go-to blog for all manner of programming tutorials has since transformed into a more inclusive weblog covering all round topics that make a great software developer, including but not limited to:
Along the way I got the opportunity to work with different individuals and companies as well involve myself in a couple of other open source projects.
Gliver Framework. I founded the Gliver PHP framework. A light weight PHP MVC framework for rapid application development. With Gliver you don’t have to know SQL in order to use MySQL.
Some of the key problems that I seek to solve with Gliver are:
I have also build a couple of jQuery plugins.
jQuery AutoComplete – A plugin for pre-filling input forms and providing input suggestions based on the current form contents. Makes filling web forms an easy and fun experience for users.
With this plugin I was looking to:
jQuery DragNDrop Upload – A plugin for uploading files to the server without page reload. Enables previewing of image files before you send them to the server, saving you time and bandwidth.
What’s funny here
My dream is to make LoudProgrammer blog a resourceful tool for both junior & experienced software developers and budding entrepreneurs alike.
