Daniel A. Horowitz - Programmer

About Me

With 17 years years of expertise in programming, I have been very fortunate to hold positions that I have loved. I enjoy every aspect of what I do and remain passionate about the creative process that comes with software programming. I strongly believe that I have the skill set, professionalism, and field experience required to benefit your company.

With my many years in programming, I have developed my own CMS framework that is far faster, cleaner, more customizable than most others. This framework is currently utilized on all my systems (shopping carts, Web 2.0 Applications, etc). I specialize in Web 2.0 Applications, utilizing PHP, Javascript, JQuery, HTML5, and CSS3. (Full Stack) I have done work for clients ranging from building a full medical software infrastructure for ProMotion; a physical therapy company, providing programming assistance to Ken Segall: former creative director of Apple. Most recently, I developed a startup called FundWarrior.com, a crowdfunding website, through my software company KoniKode.
