January 2008 — Present (1 year 7 months)
Utilizing a broad range of web design and programming skills and drawing on over a decade of experience, I'm finally putting my Web Know-How to good use. I specialize in Ruby on Rails database-driven web applications (I've been using Rails since early 1.x versions) with a clean, accessible, no-nonsense design ethic. I have extensive experience in Flash, though I've been striving to accomplish similar design techniques using JavaScript.
