Passionate web developer wants to create interesting, user-friendly, aesthetically pleasing web sites and applications. I

About Me:

I am an experienced developer and leader from the small endeavor to the complex project. I understand what it

means to gather user requirements, come up with an implementation strategy, and follow it through. I value honest

communication with customers. I believe in setting realistic expectations, but I thoroughly enjoy exceeding those

customer s experience with a company more enjoyable. I appreciate websites that present appropriate, brand-

related messages and tools to their audiences.
