I've been developing fully functional websites for the last 12 years and loving every minute of it. I started out when HTML and Javascript were the only elements of web design and have kept up with all the new technologies including CSS, Javascript frameworks, PHP, mySQL and, of course AJAX. I've also been programming Flash since AS1 and now work with AS3. My greatest strength is in mixing and matching these technologies. Feeding information from a mySQL database through a PHP page to a Flash movie and updating a dynamic portion of a page with AJAX is what I call fun.
My best work is done in conjunction with a graphic designer. I can take a .psd, slice it, dice it, and apply it as a Wordpress theme, or stand-alone site and connect it to a CMS or storefront.
