Web standards are my life; HTML, CSS and Javascript my passion. In my career I've had experience in visual design, application development, server and database administration and more — all of which have helped to make me an even better user interface architect and developer. I don't just build websites, I help shape the way they’re brought to life.
Here you'll find a selection of my work. It's certainly not an entire history of my life on the web but more a handful of sites that I'm proud to have worked on. I've had the honor of working with some of the most talented developers and designers in the industry and I certainly couldn't have done any of this without their help.
