Arthur Klepchukov’s Summary
I'm a web designer & developer with a Bachelor's in Cognitive Science and a minor in Computer Science from UC Berkeley.
My skills have quickly grown from plain table-based HTML websites created in Dreamweaver to writing valid XHTML markup, CSS, and JavaScript. I built a few small PHP applications before happily migrating to Ruby on Rails. I enjoy weaving together interesting layouts, designing logos, and refactoring my code for efficiency and elegance. I embrace good documentation, solid testing, and leading or working with other talented people.
My programming, design, and writing skills have been successful in business, government, academia, venture capital, freelancing, and my first startup. I love startups and other fast-paced environments that demand a high level of efficiency and creativity.
