Passion for web development - demonstrated by my long-running interest in design, web development, and computers as well as a history of praise from supervisors regarding my thoroughness, high code quality and the dedication I lavish on the work I do.
Quick to research and learn new technologies to solve problems and implement them where needed efficiently and quickly (as demonstrated by my history of finding latest or tried-and-true solutions and I have been given many projects where learning a new framework, library, or technology was needed in a short time)
Excellent customer service and communication skills worked directly with most clients on projects to determine their needs and how to best implement them and effectively communicate in team meetings to plan projects and user experiences.

Graduated from Serrano High School in 2003
Self-taught in web design since 2005
I spend most of my free time voraciously learning new things. I often work on personal projects sometimes to teach myself and sometimes to solve a particular problem. I also spend time collaborating with peers at hackerspaces and on each other's projects. I play the ukulele, am a lifelong vegetarian, ride my bicycle for my primary transportation, and have a pet chipmunk named Artie.
At 19 I started my first job managing a business and began my WW2 & mid-century inspired fashion business in my spare time. After working with web technologies and fashion design simultaneously for several years, web development quickly took place as my passion. I have been a web designer for about seven years and have loved keeping up with the new technologies of web development. I plan to expand on these skills, including building my own web apps, as well as micro-controller embedded programming and to otherwise become a more diverse programmer. I truly love what I do and it shows in my work.
