Web Design

Designing websites began for me as an interest, became a hobby, and is now an obsession. Over the past 5 years I have tackled projects ranging from small school assignments to huge university sites. I'm continually perfecting my work and looking for new projects, so please contact me if in need of a website.

Web Development

Code can be pretty too. I write the cleanest XHTML, CSS, and Javascript I possibly can for maximum accessability, search engine optimization, and cross-browser performance. I also am experienced with database development, OOP in Java and PHP, and Content Management Systems like Joomla! and Wordpress.

Institute on Race & Ethnicity

Created as a student worker, the IRE website is the most expansive website I have independently developed. The project began with analyzing the IRE's legacy website to determine areas of needed improvement, and then came initial design followed by nearly 6 months of page building and feature development before release. After the site was live I trained the staff on making updates and additions using Dreamweaver.

This freelance web development project was incredibly easy and enjoyable. Most of the website design was done by a church employee and my role was to modify and convert these designs into various page templates integrated into a Content Management System.

Just One Day Without Failing

This Wordpress blog showcases my occasional moments of self-deprecating humor. Developing the site involved designing it from scratch and converting and tweaking the design into a Wordpress theme. Blogging about my shortcomings has actually become quite a cathartic and enjoyble process!
