About Me
Objective
I look for opportunities to combine my passions in technology, 3D printing and R/C racing with the technical skills I have developed over more than 15 years working in Information Technology. I am currently expanding my skills implementing ecommerce solutions using the popular Joomla CMS and various related extensions.
What I Do ?
I began creating websites as a middle-school student in 1994. I leverage a solid understanding of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, SQL and other web technologies to utilize available frameworks and templates and deliver cost effective and timely solutions to my customers. Quality product and customer satisfaction are what drive me to deliver my very best with every project.
