Loc Nguyen’s Summary

I am a web developer with a broad set of skills. My background in web and graphic design provides insight into building GUIs that improve human-computer interaction. My previous work administering Windows and UNIX servers compliments my experience with application development. Having interacting with clients and end-users in past and current jobs, I consider myself a well-rounded individual with knowledge at all levels of the development life cycle.

I enjoy learning new technologies and deliberately keep my skillset diverse and up-to-date. I have a keen interest in using social software to drive brands and connect individuals.
