Here's a little about the guy behind this blog:
My name is Troy Davisson and I currently live in Indianapolis, Indiana. I'm 22 years old and can almost always be found in front of a computer monitor somewhere. Everyone that knows me knows that I'm very rarely not doing something work-related which makes me late to just about everything not work-related. I truly enjoy the work that I find myself doing (most of the time) so it's easy to spend a ton of hours on things.
As far as work goes, I'm the owner of an IDX services company. My company has been around for about 5 years now. I've been a professional web developer and programmer for about 10 years. My first exposure to programming in general was with Delrina FormFlow many, many years ago. At the time, I was too young to connect the dots in my head of where I might be able to go with that interest but once I was exposed to programming on the Internet, I was hooked. Those adventures have lead me to learn almost all aspects of computer and network technology from operating system support (Windows and Linux) to networking (protocols, wiring, installation, etc.) to server technology (IIS, Apache, DNS, load balancing, high availability solutions, backup services, etc.) to web site creation (design, graphics, Perl, PHP, Javascript, CSS, MySQL, etc.).
I got started in the IDX services industry (it has to do with real estate and property data for those that don't know) when we (my business partner at the time and I) won the bid on a random elance.com project we bid on. Once we were exposed to IDX, we continued to build out our service around what we thought would be good features to have and created a business out of it. Shortly after that, my business partner decided to continue down the career path that most of his family was already involved in and became involved full-time with real estate as an agent. Since then, I've been doing what I can to keep everything afloat which has proven to be very difficult at times. Recently, I (personally) have been focusing less on offering IDX services and trying to get involved more with general consulting and development work for people that might find my skill set useful. With that, I've had various opportunities to explore unknown waters dealing with technology and even business in general so this blog will probably be mostly about that.
Anyway, my email address is troy.davisson@gmail.com if you're dying to know more about me.
