I had early experience with git when interacting with it at IBM as part of compiler development for linux. Immediately became a very early advocate for it within IBM. People always ask me how to fix their git issues :)

Part-time during school I helped pay for my degree using consulting by working with a company called spheric, run at the time by Dan Martell. In this job I did all sorts of things, such as building portlets and custom navigation schemes for various companies. I also built a tool called "MetaEdit." In this tool I wrote a PDF parser/writer kit for finding and modifying metadata found in corporate networks.
