Clockwise

About Caleb Jaffa

I am a developer. I develop for the web and iPhone. I like to make solve people’s problems elegantly. I believe it’s important to sweat the small stuff and polish until it shines.

I am a native of Utah, and lived there most my life. There was a intermission of a couple of years spent in Maryland after high school. In the summer of 2007 I got married and moved to Sweden. When I get away from the computer I’m learning Swedish, taking pictures or walking the dog.

I’ve been fascinated by the internet from when I first heard about it in the early 90’s. I got my first job doing web development in 1998 and have been doing it since. I cut my teeth on PHP3 and ColdFusion. These days I split my time mainly between PHP and Ruby on Rails. In my group of friends I am the go to guy when things aren’t working. While I don’t always have the answer, I’m a great problem solver to reach a solution quickly.

In addition to the web I also do iPhone consulting and contracting. I believe the best software is software crafted to scratch an itch. My first program for the iPhone is Lexikon, designed to access the online Lexin Swedish-English dictionary. To follow is an application that will use the recently release Folkets Lexikon to be a Swedish-English dictionary with twice the terms and works offline.
