I’m a front-end web developer with a strong focus in user interaction and I take great pride in web standards. Web standards isn’t a buzzword to me, it’s a model that I believe all great web developers should work towards. Creating clean and semantic code is more than just something to do to make you look good. It’s a way of developing that allows the web to be indexed and experienced better. I strongly believe that by following web standards and creating examples of semantic sites encourages users to use and appreciate the web more while putting pressure on browser developers to follow standards as well.

For the past 5 years I’ve been working professionally both for myself as a freelancer and for top notch web agencies. I remember creating my first website with CSS revision 1 and reading specs on CSS 2 wishing that was the new standard. The past 5 years have been great to me and I’m doing a great job keeping up with current development platforms like MVC. Lately I’ve been focusing a lot on JavaScript, especially using jQuery as a library to develop with. I’ve learned a lot more about making the web a better experience using JavaScript to allow users to interact with pages and the content much more than just reading.

Over the next few years I see myself becoming much more knowledgeable about back-end web development and using that knowledge to create web applications that people can use to make themselves more productive. Creating promotional and brochure sites is great, but I’d like to start focusing on something more permanent that can improve over time.
