Hi! I'm Todd Sharp. I'm happily married with two beautiful children. I don't particulary like talking about myself but figured since you're taking the time out of your busy day to come visit my site that I at least owed you a little bit about me.
I currently work for a large telecommunications company in the Midwest [insert standard disclaimer regarding the thoughts and opinions expressed here on the blog are mine and not those of the company, blah, blah, blah]. I'm also ColdFusion fanatic, though I do not code "for a living" at my full time job any longer (see this post if you care to read more about that).
I got started with CF right before version 7 came out and was instantly hooked. I have never had any "formal" programming training - which possibly explains a lot (kidding). No really - I'm pretty much self-taught. I came into coding pretty late in my life even though I had always had a passion for tinkering with code. Once I started doing it full time at work I became addicted.
In addition to my full time job I own a company called Sharp Interactive, LLC. After I stopped coding at work I found myself still stuck on blogs and writing code every chance I could get so I figured I might as well pick up some work on the side to keep my skills honed and feed the addiction. If you are in need of a consultant/developer for your projects I'd love to talk to you. See my services page or contact me if you think I can help out with your project.
I also created and developed a multimedia presentation sharing community called SlideSix. SlideSix has been covered by a few tech blogs like TechCrunch and Mashable. Here are a few links if you'd like to check them out:
- SlideSix: A Guerrilla Presentation Sharing System
- SlideSix: Upload, Enhance And Share Presentations Online
- SlideSix.com - Sharing Presentations Over The Web
- Embed YouTube and Vimeo videos in slides at Slidesix
- Slidesix: Add Video Narration to Your Presentations
If you care to read more about SlideSix here on my blog you can check the SlideSix category for my entries.
I've been known to write a few articles for the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update and speak at ColdFusion conferences like cf.Objective and CFUnited. I'm also an Adobe Community Expert.
My hobbies? Well - outside of CF I like to spend time with my family. I feel family should always be a high priority in one's life. If things aren't solid at home then nothing seems to work out. I'm a huge fan of golf - though I'm not great at it. I get out once a week which is a good way to spend some time with my Dad and get away from all things stressful. I enjoy good movies - which if you know me then you know that I only classify very few movies as "good". I used to be a hardcore gamer - but don't get much time for it anymore. If you'd like to pick up an XBox 360 off my wishlist I would probably find a way to make some time ;)
That's about it. Thanks for stopping by the blog. Drop a line if you need my services, have a ColdFusion question or just want to say hi. Feel free to follow me on Twitter: @cfsilence.
