As a freelancer, my goal is to help businesses improve their web presence and as a result, their revenue.

While I have not yet received a college degree in my field, I began studying web technologies at age 13. A year later I began taking college computer courses. During my second semester, despite being only halfway through my first HTML course, I was able to obtain an internship at what is now one of the two largest web service providers in my area. The position required me to develop front-end interfaces using CSS, which I had no prior exposure to, and integrate them into a proprietary content management system. Within three months I was promoted to a part-time employee due to the fact that my work was already on par with some of their full-time employees.

Although the company ran out of work and could not keep me on staff beyond the next year, I continued my education and began freelancing. Over the next four years I finished my high school diploma and completed 90% of two Associate's degrees in Programming and Web Development. Continuing my education pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Web & Application Development I grew tired of having to be ahead of my curriculum to stay current to meet the needs of my clients so I left school. This eight year journey has not yet come to an end as I expect to finish both my Associate's degrees this year and my Bachelor's next.

After leaving school I've had multiple full-time positions working in the industry over the past three years. They have all been great tests and have pushed me to improve my skills. However, I genuinely prefer working with clients directly and hope that you appreciate also being able to interface directly with your developer.

Work Terms

My hours of operation range depending on the projects I am currently working on. If you are operating under strict deadlines, I am willing to work as long as is necessary, even if that requires staying up through the night. Although I am quite busy, I am generally reachable by email preferably, or by phone in more urgent situations at all times.

I prefer to communicate directly and efficiently. I will take initiative to make assumptions about what your needs and goals as much or as little as you'd like to facilitate a fast turnaround on the work.

Rates and payment options are negotiable. Whatever payment method you prefer will most likely work for me. I am known to be open to bartering arrangements if that is of interest to you.
