Web Design

Design is what people understand tacitly, and it is what first brought me to want to make websites. My philosophy behind web design revolves around ease of use, simplicity/functionality, and beauty. If you want your information understood, better it be appealing and interesting. If you want people to stay on your website, better it be beautiful and easy to navigate.

Web Development

When your website reaches beyond needing just to present information, that's where web development comes into play. Having helped design and code a custom content management system as well as some rather robust reporting applications, I've become quite adept at delivering quality web programs, powering some very high traffic, dynamic websites.

Project Management

From organizing multidepartment technology initiatives at a university, to leading an effort to organize a large-scale web application, I feel like I have a unique perspective on project management . Things need to get done, and you need that special person with the political accumen, tech savvy, and collaborative skills necessary to fullfill a goal, milestone, or objective...on a DEADLINE.

Hello world, as they would say. I sort of stumbled into web design early in college when the web was young and have pretty much stayed at it since then. Here (above actually), you can see some of my most recent designs. Please feel free to check out my work and send me any comments or critisms you may have. I started out making websites as a hobby, using geocities, homestead, and the like, but it wasn't enough to satiate my curiousity of doing more, so I bought a bunch of books and have been continnually improving both my design and development skills.

Coming formally from a very technical background in molecular biology, computer tech has been an easy fit and I consider my skills wide ranging from server-side scripting languages like php and asp, but also on the web design side, CSS and XHTML. I strive to design websites that are standards compliant as well as fast loading, easy to navigate, and appealing to the eyes. I hope my work speaks for itself and please contact me (below) if you have any questions. Thanks for stopping by.
