Senior Interaction Designer
San Francisco Bay Area
I design web applications using an iterative approach. Start with the basics and build from there, testing all the while. The quicker you have a working product the quicker you can discover its unforeseen improvements.
I develop the PHP/HTML/CSS/Javascript needed to make prototypes and production quality code. Knowing the technology helps designing products because I know its constraints and can come up with the quickest and/or best implementation. I design with the execution in mind.
● Semantic, compliant, tableless HTML
● Unobtrusive Javascript
● Javascript frameworks (Prototype, YUI)
● JSON
● CSS frameworks (Blueprint)
● PHP software (Wordpress, PHPMyFAQ)
● iPhone (and mobile) web development
● front end optimization
● SEO & SEM
● web culture
