Biography

Academic/Future Goals

I graduated in December 2009 from Lipscomb University with a major in Infomation Technology Applications and a Computer Science minor. I am very passionate about programming, always eager to learn more and further hone my skills. Ever since 11th grade I have dreamed of becoming a professional programmer. I got my first chance to work for a company full-time in the summer of 2008 when I interned with Level 2 Design. Since it was a small company and they greatly respected my work, I was able to be the sole programmer on 8 different projects.

Web Design Goals

When designing a website there are several things I tend to stress:

• Simple and clean interface
• Compact size for faster loading
  • all code is hand typed, not generated by a program
  • use of color, rather than large images, wherever possible
• Structured, easy to maintain code
  • standards compliant xHTML
  • creation of reusable and flexible code
• Dynamic web pages powered by PHP and MySQL
• Use of new technologies such as AJAX and XML
• Custom control panels to allow client to change content
