About Me

My name is Dave Olsen. I'm a programmer and sometimes project manager with West Virginia University. I specialize in delivering PHP- and Ruby on Rails-based solutions for our University Relations department. Since July 2009 much of my work has been related to mobile. The most robust of these projects is WVU Mobile Web which has been open sourced as Mobile Web OSP. I've created a number of other solutions as well and you can learn more about them on my projects page.
