Greater New York City Area
My main skills are web application development and user interface design, but I am also a capable Apache web server administrator. In my current role, I focus mostly on presentation layer development, with supplemental server-side and database development and maintenance duties. I make decisions on hardware and software purchases, as well as other management-level decisions...from procuring vendors to hosting and connectivity for the entire ogranization.
In my semi-professional life, I consider myself a technology advisor. I am well versed in many aspects of technology and how they can be integrated into our lives. I have assisted in a number of my colleagues online identities, as well as a few personal creative projects.
I am currently a student at the Tisch School of Arts Interactive Telecommuncations Program (ITP) at NYU, where I hope to broaden technical, creative, and collaborative skills. I am a candidate for graduation in 2009.
