General info

Houston, TX

Experienced in PHP, MySQL, CSS, (X)HTML, JavaScript & jQuery, WordPress is my weapon of choice. Design and development are my passion, PHP is my third language, Photoshop & Dreamweaver are my forte, and typography & photography are my inspiration. I'm constantly keeping up to date with the latest tutorials and articles about web design and development to better my skills.

Also, I need an H1B sponsorship, but it's ok, don't be afraid to call me nevertheless, we can discuss this during my interview ;) Hope to hear from you soon.
