Jonathon Wolfe’s Summary

I have…

- Designed attractive and usable user interfaces for small startups and companies as large as Apple
- Fallen in love with Ruby and Rails
- Done a heck of a lot of standards-compliant XHTML/CSS coding
- Built cross-browser javascript libraries and used AJAX techniques long before the term existed
- Implemented some rather slick Flash-based user interfaces
- Developed (what were then-)cutting-edge 3D graphics algorithms
- Programmed commercial shrink-wrapped computer games for the Mac and Windows in C++

What I’m up to now...
