Who I Am
I guess you could say that I'm a big geek.
I've been around computers since elementary school and began programming in third grade. As I got older, I worked on improving my skills while learning several languages. Through college I had worked with apple pascal, C, Objective C, C++, FORTRAN and Java.
During college, I was exposed to HTML and began to learn all I could about web development. It was at this time that I began to experiment with web design as well, and I've been doing both design and development ever since.
After graduating from Hofstra University with a B.S. in Computer Science, I moved to Los Angeles and attended USC. I completed a certificate in the ITP program at USC, covering web and multimedia design using tools like Macromedia Shockwave and 3D Studio Max.
While attending USC, I began my career as a web developer using ASP, HTML, CSS, javascript and more recently C#.
When not building web pages, I am also an advanced amateur photographer, avid video game player and fan of Japanese animation.
