Over the years, whenever I’ve wanted to hack together a quick project or web test, I’ve turned to LAMP, the “easy to use” web stack featuring Linix, Apache, MySQL, and PHP or Perl. Well that part of me is dead now that I’ve discovered Amazon Elastic Beanstalk, part of the AWS suite. The days of my PHP and Perl proficiency are long gone and these days, I’m much more comfortable in Java so Tomcat is now my go to web server.

Inspired by Lifehacker’s productivity series, I decided to share some of my work practices. Location: Wanaque, NJ Current Gig: Software Developer at Audible.com One word that best describes how you work: Methodically Current mobile device: HTC One (M8) Current computer: MacBook Pro What apps/software/tools can’t you live without? Why? My number one app is definitely Evernote. I use it for taking notes at work, managing todo lists, and planning projects. I even use it for storing travel trips, restaurants to try, and planning trips.
