Currently I am the Senior Web Developer at Credit.com, Inc., a financial services-based web company. Before joining Credit.com, I worked full-time in San Francisco with TechWeb as a web developer and designer. Previous to that I worked at a publishing house as a production artist for nearly 3 years, where I became an Adobe ‘wizard’, and studied typographic principles through the traditional medium of print publishing.

I have a bachelor’s degree from UC Santa Cruz in Philosophy and Visual Studies. I also completed a Certificate in Web Programming with honors (Phi Theta Kappa) at the College of San Mateo. The program focuses on design patterns and modern web technology, through a study of the following: XML/XSL, XHTML/CSS, JavaScript/DOM/Ajax, OOP through Java, PHP, Perl, MySQL and Oracle database management. I also have experience with Adobe Flash.
