My name is Adam McKerlie and I’m a web developer out of Toronto Ontario. I’ve been programming for the past 10 or so years now. I started with QBasic moving on to VBScript. In University I started programming in C and Java with a brief look into PHP and Python. My first job was working on a PHP web application and since then I’ve moved to Python and Django applications. Currently I work at a large Travel Company working with Django, jQuery , PostgreSQL and other interesting technologies.
