Web Dev and UI

I've been fascinated by the UI of applications, particularly the javascript aspects, and I want to help shape the future UI. I'm interested in taking steps towards that goal by analyzing and experiencing web development then web UI development: I've come to an understanding of many applications and their interaction pitfalls. I wish to use my skills and energy to make a great experience. When starting at a company I review what the goals are, and then refine the process with others in kind. This can seem slow but ends up being quick in the long run.
