Hello,

Welcome to my site

Right now this is a place for a mix of personal promotion and playing with new design ideas and techniques. There are a few designs to choose from on the menu, which will change the look and feel of the site while keeping the HTML code exactly the same. Though the default theme is a bit bland, I assure you the others are awesome. All code seen here is 100% naturally produced by yours truly.

As a bit of biography,

I just graduated (2008) from UC Santa Cruz with a BA in Sociology. While there, I was thrust into the world of technology via the Global Information Internship Program(GIIP), which I am proud to have participated in for 3 years, including 2 years as an instructor for the web design labs.

I've been working part time for the last two (plus) years at pnn.com. PNN is a small Ruby on Rails company in the north bay trying to make citizen journalism a reality for everyone. The PNN platform allows anyone to create a website in moments, and customize it with themes and widgets of extraordinary functionality. My main role there is to implement front-end code, so I've hand-written almost all of the html/css on the site. My PNN site is hyro.pnn.com. You'll notice the theme I use there is strikingly similar to Sunny Day.

Recently I've been focusing largely on work for Extension Media in San Francisco, where I've been working under contract as a general php/web developer. I've worked on projects there ranging from template production, to legacy system support, to completely re-working custom CMSs. I'm currently working on a rather large project that is near complete, and I look forward to discussing more when it's launched.

Please have a look around, and feel free to drop me a line.
