I've been developing websites since 1995, when I began tinkering with HTML. In January 2015 I took the leap and became a full-time developer. My focus: - Front-end development (HTML5 / CSS3 / JavaScript / jQuery / AJAX / JSON) - Back-end development (PHP / Laravel / MySQL / MariaDB) - WordPress site development and management - SEO - MediaWiki development I create fully responsive sites--they look great regardless of where they're viewed. I also build the site to be more easily viewed by the vision- and hearing-impaired. My business philosophy has two driving principles: expertise and customer service. I continually hone my skills through education and experimentation, and my ultimate goal is to provide a site that both you and I are proud of. That's my definition of success! When I'm not coding, I enjoy hiking with my dog, photography (mostly black and white), and listening to music, especially my extensive jazz collection.
