Previous Occupation

Web Developer at Milestone Graphics:

As a web developer at milestone graphics, I made websites for rental properties using PHP, MySQL, AJAX, jQuery, and CSS. I also analyzed the traffic using Google Analytics. By deploying websites for Milestone, I increased their revenue and improved their web presence.

Projects

All of the projects I have been pursuing lately are written in Javascript and Ruby using Ruby On Rails and Backbone. I am growing increasingly familiar with Angular.js as I am building an application written purely in Angular.js and Ruby. See my portfolio below for more information
