My sites
I'm a professional web developer. My portfolio:
- cad.cx - my personal website
It is the culmination of about 50 hours worth of PHP, XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, AJAX (eventually), GIMP/Photoshop, and good, old fashioned
viblood, sweat, and love. Feel free to poke around and see my code.I'm not gonna lie, this site looks as intended in Gecko-based browsers such as Firefox, Seamonkey (formerly the Mozilla Suite), Camino, Netscape 8+ and Epiphany. KHTML-based browsers such as Konqueror and Safari come close but don't yet support the many CSS3 features of this website. Opera does the same job as KHTML. For the love of God, don't use Internet Explorer.
The dock code is based on GoogleX. I don't remember from where I got the images, but I'm pretty sure that they were part of a Gnome theme.
The site was designed in Fall 2006. Since then, I've spent more time working on my blog.

I am an alumnus of the program (2001!) and became very involved, eventually being voted onto the corporate board of directors, where I served as the Director of Technology. The organization was dissolved at the close of 2007, and the site went offline April 30, 2008. It was designed in early 2007.

Design consulting in Spring 2007
I focus primarily on a standards-compliant frontend (what a visitor sees) design with an robust, easy-to-use, documented backend (code that runs on the server). I prefer a small number of images and thus use a plethora of text and layout effects.
I have experience with multiple Web coding languages, processes, and methods. I'm constantly improving my skills in both GUI design/layout and coding.
I prefer a LAMP stack for websites, but can work in a proprietary environment.
