Having a wide variety of interests over the years has led me to explore and learn a lot of different skills. Initially being a front-end web developer using basic HTML, CSS, and Javascript in the late 1990's, creating a dynamic web site to facilitate serving a web comic in 2002 led me to learn PHP.
As the needs of the web comic site evolved, I created custom forums software in PHP in 2005. From there, I began to expand from professional web design to professional web development. By late 2006, I had become a full-time web developer and began expanding my skill set further to learn new programming languages, including Node.js in 2017.
Services Offered
Web Development
Complicated projects are no problem with an organized approach and careful planning.
With over ten years of experience in writing complex web applications in PHP, custom Internet applications ranging from XML feed management to image processing are possible.
I'll create content management systems specifically tailored to your use case. Alternately, customizations to existing frameworks are possible.
Alongside PHP, I'm also capable of developing applications using Node.js.
Web Design
Web sites need to maintain a modern look with the latest design features supported by current browsers.
Using CSS3, HTML5, and Javascript, I'll tailor the design of a web site project to appropriately complement your branding and provide an intuitive user interface.
Designs will provide a home for your content instead of interfering with it.
LAMP Stack and Node.js Server Setup
Quick deployment of web applications requires a capable server administrator to set up the server environment.
My experience includes setting up Apache, PHP, MySQL, and Node.js environments in Linux and Windows.
To make long-term maintenance easier, I create scripts to automate common server tasks.
Illustration and Graphic Design
From 3D models and renderings to hand-drawn illustrations, I will work with you to get a solid concept and create several rough drafts.
A variety of drawing styles is available. Artwork and graphics for print, web, and video can be produced.
Upon completion, high-resolution final images and working files will be presented.
Music Production
Classical, techno, rock, and mostly anything in-between! Need background or theme music for your game or video?
I specialize in instrumental music and will bring your idea to life with high quality instrument sounds and composition.
Voice-Overs
Need a voice-over for your project? Get some clean and crisp narration. I'll record several takes to fit the desired tone.
Audio will be clean with the use of good microphones, pop filters, EQ, and dynamic compression.
