Hello!
about
Every problem can be solved with either tacos or lattes. Maybe not although I do think there is no harm in trying, lattes are great. As a web developer and designer with a communication strategy background I strive to execute. I am always looking for new ways to blend modern style and dynamic user experiences.
By using HTML/CSS/Javascript and back end frameworks such as Rails I plan to build and design great things for years to come. To learn more about how I can be of value to your next project drop me an email.
Find me online at Github & Twitter & LinkedIn.
