The transpositions of
Daniel Robert Chote

Who is Daniel Chote?

I was born in Hastings, New Zealand. Son of Peter and Leanne Chote. I consider myself a total techno-dweeb, staying up-to-date with everything technology related.

I have a lot of interest in Open Source, as a developer and CTO, I implement many solutions using Open Source technology. The basis of most of my work is running on Linux or Mac OS.

What I do

I am the CTO of a very successful development company. I have guided our projects and infrastructure using technologies I have interest in. We primarily use Mac OS X for desktops, and Debian Linux for servers. We build our infrastructure from the ground up, we do not rely on enterprise solutions. We even build our own servers (using Supermicro Barebones and components fitted for that particular purpose).

My Skills

I take pride in my server administration skills. And also in my ability to pick up new technology implementations fairly quickly. Here is my skillset breakdown:

I have taken a step back in the development world over the past year. My primary focuses have been PHP+MySQL. I am branching out into Objective-C development, although my time on this has been fairly limited and I dont really have anything to show for this yet!

Passing the time

A few of my hobbies happen to be non-computer related, however... We all get stuck development bound, as it was those software development hobbies that brought us to these jobs in the first place.
