About
Greetings and welcome to CodeHooligans.com. This site is the personal blog and somewhat professional site of Paul Menard. I use this site to show off some of my creations as well as write about the things that interest me and/or really get under my skin.
I’m a Sr. Level Web Developer living in Austin, Texas. Most of my clients are from all over the United States. I recently left my full-time day job with a premiers PR agency to start my own company. I have over 15 years of programming experience, ranging from C/C++, COBOL, Pascal, ASP, Cold Fusion, PHP, PERL and Ruby on Rails. I’ve worked on Windows, UNIX, Linux and AS/400 systems. You can see my most up to date professional information on my LinkedIn account. You can also see information about some of the projects I’ve been involved with on my Portfolio page.
I mostly work in either PHP, WordPress or CakePHP environments but have worked with Drupal and some other open source Content Management Systems. I discovered Magento last year and really love the beautiful architecture of it’s design and look forward to working on more project where I can utilize this e-Commerce package.
In the Fall of 2008 I was a member of Team Refresh for the Knowbility AIR Austin competition. We won 2nd place for the work on our site Volunteers at the Creek.
Feel free to contact me or better hire me.
