I'm a python developer, designer, and jack-of-all-trades. I eat, sleep, and breath quality web application development. I've been doing it for four or five years now, and with each year my skill and understanding increases tenfold. I have my fingers directly on the pulse of the internet as we know it. I admire beautiful code, and have zero tolerance for shitty work. Below are some projects that I have worked on:

Arbesko

A Swedish manufacturer of Safety footwear. I wireframed, designed, and developed this site. It's one of my greatest accomplishments. Have a look around. Enjoy the dialog's on the contact page (hand written), the livesearch on the product pages (also hand written), and the clean design. I am not a fan of jQuery plugins or just slapping pre-built off-the-shelf garbage together. Fortunately, due to this project and others, I have formulated my own personal library of quality components that fit my style. Arbesko was (unfortunately) built in WordPress. — Visit Site

TheBus.ws

This was a small project of mine that took about 3 days from start-finish. I got so involved (and sprinted so hard) on this project that at one point my girlfriend (at the time) was standing completely naked behind me begging for my attention. It's not often that one is motivated that much by a particular project. I have a small fascination with public transportation. TheBus.ws scrapes an existing website to provide a ghetto-API of sorts and improved interface to finding out when a bus is arriving near you. The site is optomized for smartphones (specifically iPhone and Android). It was built in Django. — Visit Site

SchoolRack

This was definitely not a project that I completed on my own, quite far from it. I was the lead designer and handled all front-end development. I worked with a very good friend of mine (not to mention smart and kick-ass guy) to develop the back-end. Together, we were the essense of SchoolRack. It's a huge site with a fairly complex bit of infrastructure keeping it alive (I am a huge server nerd). — Visit Site

ZehnerGroup

I am a jack-of-all-trades at ZehnerGroup, a web agency located in Culver City, CA. We're across the street from, ironcally, my least favorite hosting company in the world. I'll let you figure that one out. I developed and designed (not all, but most) of the ZehnerGroup website.

When I'm not sitting in front of a computer and banging out code, I'm working on or driving my car (I looove my Stage II GTI), riding my bike (I have a gorgeous 2005 Bianchi Pista Concept track bike that I ride like I stole) or spending time with friends.
