Who Am I.

I consider myself to be a versatile person that continues to evolve as a front end development. I am always searching for new ways to expand my knowldege and try new methods to create the best websites possible. I put myself in my user's shoes and look for the best ways to improve their experience. Besides programming, I also apply my graphic design knowledge to bring the websites to life. You can usually find me coding away, while listening to the latest electronic music.

This combined with the curiosity to educate myself, gives me the ability to create projects from the ground up and it also helps me adapt quickly to different work environments.

CMS + ECOMMERCE

CMS platforms like Wordpress provide countless tools to create all types of sites, while saving time with the use of themes and plugins. It also gives the client the ability to edit some areas of the site.

Prestashop and Volusion ecommerce platforms are what I use to bring the best online shopping cart experience to my clients.
