My name is Dan Ott. I'm an independent contractor out of Bloomington, IN. I've worked for the past 5 years in the web development field, and full-time for the last year and a half. I have a lot of experience in back-end work like php and mysql (and front-end javascript/AJAX), but my true passion is (x)html and css. I don't have the strongest design skills in the world, but put a psd in my hands, and I'm a very happy camper. I live for the green bar on the w3 validator.

I was born and raised in Lakewood, Ohio (the first city west of Cleveland), went to school at Ohio Wesleyan University, and currently reside in Bloomington, Indiana, near the Indiana University campus.

Design:

This site was designed on a MacBook Pro, using Adobe Photoshop CS3, MAMP, Headdress, and the amazing Coda.

Server:

Dtott.com is hosted by Media Temple, and runs on the venerable LAMP group.

Also:

The Thoughts section is powered by WordPress, using my own custom theme and a custom plugin or two.
