Since 2007 I have been working with professional clients and companies to develop websites. Originally I coded in HTML using PHP in the backend enabling me to expand my knowledge with server-side code to create more dynamically driven websites. In the summer of 2008 I began working with a small development company, NimbleUser, where I quickly picked up ASP.NET and C#. Since then my professional focus in web development has been using ASP.NET with C# codebehind or Visual Basic, a focus I hope to continue after graduation.
As a Freshman at R.I.T. I began learning to code in ActioSnsript 2.0, followed by Actionscript 3.0 in 2007. This was the first Object Oriented coding language I ever programmed in and soon began to love it. Earlier versions of my portfolio were programmed in Actionscript 3.0, versions I still play around with attempting to increase the efficiency and extend my knowledge of the language.
Part of my education as a New Media Interactive Development student includes classes in design and animation. While design has never been my speciality, I have learned the basics and can come up with designs and offer input when needed and required. In the winter quarter of 2010 I completed a 2D animation class and this quarter I am furthering this by taking a 3D animation class to further develop my skills in design and animation.
