Student/Web Developer at Michigan State University
Lansing, Michigan Area
Web Developer, Designer, and Programmer. My interest for computers and new technology stems from a few years prior to high school. I started with making simple edits to configuration files of the computer games I played. I then became interested in the web. It is a great feeling to see something you've created, and to know that others have the opportunity to gain some sort of value from it. While my good friends were "specializing" in sports in their latter years of highschool I was deep in to the many facets of web development. As the years of my formal education have come and gone I find myself only becoming more interested and involved in the many languages of computers. From Assembly Language to CSS and on I find exciting and endless possibilities. My current areas of attention are AJAX, DHTML, accessibility, usability, and standards.
I'm not your average Computer Science major. I have an inclination to be a business oriented programmer. Not only do I have the experience, logic, and work ethic to consider myself a good programmer, but I also have the natural creativity, ideas, and charisma to identify a problem, collaborate with a team, and solve the problem. I believe that is something that sets me apart from my Computer Science peers.
