Between March 2008 and March 2009 I held the position of lead CSS/HTML Designer and Jr. Web Developer at Wandrian, Inc.

I am currently seeking opportunities to further my development and design skills. There's a lot to learn, especially in a medium that's always changing. My goal is to join a dedicated team of creative individuals with whom I can share my creative and technical enthusiasm.
