Design of dynamic web sites, web2, using php, javascript, ajax, micro format based semantics, and original pictures. For instance again the flickr based photo gallery generator "darckr". I also use a file based content management system as shown by the index of publications in the research page, etc... I use my skills in software engineering and man machine interfaces.
