About Me


I'm a Junior Web Designer, currently attending Arizona State University. My major is in Applied Sciences – Internet and Web Development. My classwork and projects have consisted of designing web pages like this one. I'm also on my way to earning my CCNA for Cisco networking technologies. In my off time, I am learning PHP/MySQL.


My hobbies include designing webpages, reading about web design and scripting. I'm interested in learning PHP, Ruby, SQL, and JavaScript. When I'm not designing or developing, I enjoy reading, hiking, exercising, music and PC games. I like to read and catch up on tech blogs (Tom's Hardware, TechDirt, xkcd, woot) and web design blogs (SmashingMagazine, Abduzeedo, AlistApart, TutsPlus). I enjoy reading fictional books by authors Brandon Sanderson, and JK Rowling. I like to listen to chiptune music and various artists (Midnight Brown, Daft Punk, Royksopp, The New Deal, The KLF, Yoko Kanno, Depeche Mode, Dredg, Moenia) The current PC games that have my interest are Nuclear Dawn, Tribes: Ascend, Left 4 Dead 2, and Magicka.
