I`m a hybrid developer, with experience ranging from 20 years of Photoshop work to Fortune 500 intranet application development. I`ve done more than my fair share of dabbling in Classic ASP, Flash, HTML, CSS, Javascript, and other languages during my career, and I`m always excited to try out new tools. I developed methods for asynchronous page updates before XMLHttp was built into most browsers using a MacGuyver-esque collusion of Flash and Classic ASP, was writing dynamic Flash into browsers before the EOLAS debacle, and have a general disdain for blind allegiance to techniques with no regard to understanding of their benefits and consequences. My general focus has been on front-end, UI and UX work, with a goal of making design decisions that are flexible and efficient. My mentor taught me the joys of Occam`s Razor, a device I seek to employ in every possible situation. When I`m not haunting the halls of programming, I`m probably either gaming, reading, drawing or making a fool of myself on a stage somewhere. Likes: clean code, small, fast data transactions, a sense of craftsmanship, fun problems, learning and helping others learn at the same time Dislikes: willful ignorance, overuse of <br/> tags, sloppy markup and lazy CSS, and did I mention I REALLY hate the abuse of the <br/> tag?
