Chris Gaunt’s Summary
I have been interested in web development, human-computer interaction and online communities since I made my first website in high school. I went on to teach myself HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP and more recently Ruby on Rails.
I have gradually developed a keen eye for usability and interface design and gained a broad knowledge of internet technologies, which has enabled me to come up with unique solutions and build high quality applications.
One such application is http://jpopjapan.com where I put into practice my knowledge and experiment with new ideas, eventually developing this into a full community site.
I am always looking to meet and work with people who share my passion for the internet, social media and technology.
