Web Designer at The Mississauga News
Toronto, Canada Area
Web design and development have been my passion ever since I can remember. All my work experience has been related to Web design and development. Having experience in both the designing and programming aspects ensures that the web page will be user friendly, appealing and efficient. "Conceptual Simplicity, Structural Complexity"
My goals in the industry is to follow the evolution of the web and always try and keep one step ahead of the game. I also hope to get into the gaming industry via my web development skills sometime in the near future, that or make my own company. I dream and am always looking into the future.

I just recently switched over to a part-time Web Designer position at the Mississauga News as I was currently already doing many of the site designs and online banner advertisements. Now I handle almost all the online advertisements, and new websites designs we release, as well as the many changes to www.mississauga.com website. It was a logical step for me to move into this position as it was the type of work I enjoyed doing at this company. I still do some development work in our Drupal based websites and helping out the other new developers and staff when needed.
