I'm a software designer and developer (some might even say "architect"). I started my career at InstallShield, where I was involved in designing and building one of the first development tools for Windows Installer.
My interests and passion lie with user experience and interaction design. I dabble in the graphic arts, though I'm not an expert.
The first program I ever wrote was in GW-BASIC. Once I got to college and learned that you could use Visual Basic 3.0 to write a Windows program, I never looked back. After toiling in the COM world with ATL for a while, I fell in love with programming all over again when C# was introduced. Now I'm working with HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript, and I've found it amazing what you can do.
I do my best to balance design sense, technical skill, and getting-things-done. Even years after making software my "day job", I still love to make things that look great, work well, solve a problem, and are a joy to build.
