About This Place

Urgetopunt Technologies is a software development boutique that develops web-based business software for voiceover artists, agents and managers in Los Angeles, New York and elsewhere. It is run by John Parker, a reformed sysadmin who has left a scourge of badly-written, poorly-documented software to be maintained by former coworkers. By adhering to test-driven development and other sound software development principles, he seeks to pay penance for the suffering his code has caused.

John started out as a systems administrator working with Solaris, AIX, Linux and *BSD before moving on to full-time web application development with Perl and PHP. He eventually discovered Ruby and today works primarily with open source frameworks like Rails, Merb and Sinatra.

This site is formatted with Blueprint, generated by Jekyll, deployed with Capistrano and hosted at Slicehost. The source is available on Github.
