I've loved creating things since childhood and once I got my hands on my first computer I started teaching myself how to program and never looked back. I eventually achieved my B.S. in Computer Science and now spend my days being quite passionate about whatever fun software projects I can get my hands on.
For the past 13 years I've worked in the airline industry on the revenue accounting side of the business. I also do a bit of system administration work, but that's more out of necessity than enjoyment. What I really love is creating intelligent PHP applications for interesting web sites.
In my spare time for the past 4 years I've been part of what is far and away the best video community anywhere, VideoSift.
Recently I've been working on a very intricate shopping cart system for Neatorama.com called NeatoCart. Of course, I also designed and manage TeeVirus.com, which sells interesting t-shirts designed by the site's users. I've found myself doing a bit of work alongside and inside WordPress lately, but I'd be more interested in writing a new WordPress.
Anyway, this little empty page may be replaced eventually with something of more substance, but for now I'll just let it tell you this little bit about myself.
If you want to contact me you can find me at rommel at rommelsantor dot com.
I just found this old program I wrote a few years ago (in 2005). It's a desktop application that I was toying with as a very simplified version of an MP3 playlist editor and MP3 player. My goal was to make it simple and unobtrusive (see the image below) and in its current unfinished form, I think I achieved that. The player is tiny and can be hidden/controlled (play, pause, previous, next) in the system tray. Download, unzip, and give it a try if you're up to it: LMEdit.zip.

Here's another neat old app I wrote back in 2003. It's a binary clock and aside from telling time, its main purpose is to illustrate how geeky cool you are to anyone who sees it on your computer screen. Download it: binclock.zip. Double-click to change the color of the virtual LEDs and hit ESC to close it.
