Adam Finlayson/AMF
I live, work, and volunteer in Evanston, IL:
- Web Developer at Northwestern University
- Vice President of the Democratic Party of Evanston
- Treasurer of the Grandmother Park Initiative, a project to build a new park in Evanston
- Community organizer for the Dewey-Darrow Neighbors, part of the Asbury-Dodge Neighborhoods
By day I co-manage Web Infrastructure and Application Development in the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences. Our work is split between:
- Web application development on the Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP stack (LAMP), often using the CakePHP framework
- Server infrastructure planning and maintenance
- All levels of web support for College faculty and staff
I'm originally from Dearborn, Michigan (Henry Ford '91, Woodworth '93) before moving to Chicago (Amundsen '97). After that I attended Cornell College in Mount Vernon, Iowa (Math and Computer Science 2001) then moved to Evanston in 2001 where I currently live with my wife, Delia, and our dog, Ninja. I'm a graduate of Leadership Evanston (2006) and highly recommend it.
I put my curly braces on the right line. I'll spend hours cooking and just eat Crispix. I mapped the maze of twisty little passages all alike. I hope to be mentioned in the J.A. Adande Lounge (Medill '92). I tpye god. INTJ. Coming after you like Vwxyz.
