about:

I'm a freelance front-end web developer located in Philadelphia. I like grid based designs with ample whitespace, clean typography and spending hours designing & coding.

I am currently accepting freelance projects. Please fill out my web design questionnaire or email me if you'd like to discuss a project.

When I'm not designing & coding, or reading up on the latest in web design, I enjoy firing up my backyard grill, wandering the streets of Philly with my camera and planning my next travel destination.

Valid XHTML/CSS, Javascript/jQuery, PHP/MySQL, Ajax, Actionscript 3.0, content management systems (Wordpress, Drupal), UX/UI, e-learning, project management, video & audio for the web
