Having had early exposure to both art and HTML, I have designed and developed Web sites since age 11. Initial playgrounds such as Geocities and Angelfire have been replaced by managed hosting, cloud computing, and advanced database-driven applications utilizing the flexibility and dynamics of RESTful architecture and AJAX.
I have a constant focus upon Web standards, accessibility guidelines, and usability through human-computer interaction (HCI) theory. In addition, I constantly seek out challenges and devour knowledge, expanding my horizons in an ongoing search for the best methods for building, maintaining, and enhancing Web sites.
