Sunny Thaper’s Summary

I am a professional web-designer and web-developer with over eight years of experience in the field. Highly creative in the sense that I can take a general idea (or lack thereof) and improve, expand, or enrich it to something that will work for the particular problem or situation. I have had experience with a wide variety of projects ranging from simple e-commerce websites to multi-user online community driven content sites. My goal is to push my personal limits with each new project set before me.
