Person
Stephan Miller is a web developer, app developer, SEO expert, and blogger who lives in Kansas City, Missouri. He has been head ecommerce developer for All About Doors and Windows in Kansas City for five years where he has worked with osCommerce, Zen Cart, Magento, WordPress, Drupal, FileMaker Pro, and many other software used in ecommerce. He got interested in information technology shortly after high school and taught himself to build desktop software before finding that web development was a much more exciting field. He developed web sites from scratch with PHP and MySql because there was no WordPress at that time and that is just what you had to do. He learned about search engine optimization and web analytics while promoting these web sites which were monetized with affiliate programs and advertising. During the last decade, he has also free-lanced in a lot of fields, including writing, SEO, web development, and app development. This has made him proficient in PHP, JavaScript, Python, MySql, Apache, Nginx, MongoDB and other tools of the trade. He blogs semi-regularly at http://www.stephanmiller.com about his work.
