Oh hai.

My name is Nick Ali. I'm an Internet geek. Period.

Everything about the Internet interests me, everything from web design, to social media, to building scalable web platforms.

As a principal at Run Level Media, LLC, I get to solve customer problems while doing what I love. Awesome!

I like building big complicated…stuff. Like doing:

• Infrastructure and architecture changes for moving big iron database systems to a distributed platform supporting over millions of paying customers.
• Designing patterns and mechanisms for making distributed database transaction calls over XML-RPC.
• Designing and implementing caching mechanisms to reduce database, file, network I/O.
• Implementing web service calls to add new data and extract data using, JSON, SOAP and WSDL.
• Implementing highly interactive drag and drop customer facing interfaces populated with dynamic content pulled over Ajax, before JavaScript libraries become popular.

This site is an experiment, its where I blog about anything that interests me, anything web development and hosting related, from WordPress to Magento, and fun web frameworks.

Expect everything to break.

Oh yeah, I occasionally vlog as well.
