about me...

Skills

I'm quite experienced (9+ years) with web development (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, ASP, PHP), graphic design (logos, web graphics, software graphics), game development (3d level architecture, game programming, Flash games), programming (software [C++, VB.NET, JAVA], games [ActionScript], web [see aformentioned languages in 'web dvelopment']), and lots of other stuff (just ask me). You can view my résumé here.

Experience

I've worked as a freelance web developer since 2008. I've also done some graphic design for a company in NY called OMGPOP ( http://www.OMGPOP.com ). I also did some 2d graphic work for a video game known as Mech Warfare: Co-op ( http://www.mech.eltaweb.com ).

About This Site

I redesigned my portfolio to be more 'eye-catching' ...whatever that means. I use no javascript because a good portion of people don't have it turned on in their browsers and I like developing for as many possible viewers as possible! I coded this whole style in CSS and I use absolutely 0 table layouts! Yay! If you're a web developer, you'll know the significance in that ;) So I'm up to standards and all the graphics are by me of course ;) Also, this site has been heavily optimized so I hope that helped it load quickly for you!

About Me

Ever since I was a child, I've always been creative. I experimented with finding the "right" medium in which to express my bottled up creativity all throughout my childhood. I created back yard "games;" I drew; I wrote; I developed and performed magic tricks; I wrote songs and poetry; I did so many things to release my 'creative sparks.' It wasn't until I first sat down to create something on the computer, however, that I became content with the medium I was utilizing. What started out as a child's interest in creating repetitive desktop background designs on his old Win95 box, quickly evolved into the desire and realization of the aspiration to create cartoons and graphics, then software, then games, and then websites. I am happy with what I've learned over the years, but the child in me always wants to learn more.
