A-1
Born and Bred
In Connecticut, USA.I had the normal American childhood: Played sports, skateboarded, video games etc. but was more of a geek. I was also a very artistic kid with an impressive output. I attended Tech school to learn Industrial Electronics as well as a traditional art TAG program where I made every kind of art, and even sold a few paintings.
There are 3 things I like to do: think, create, and sweat. If I am not sleeping I am usually doing one of those things.
Since a young age I have been balancing these forces and I believe the synergy is self-evident.

Self Taught
Formally TrainedMy interest in computers was instant and permanent. As soon as my family got ahold of a computer I wanted to know everything about it, and soon I taught myself to code. I made my own websites and video games and mostly shared them with friends or noone; to me the creation is the important part, and after that is the next project.
For a while it was my favorite hobby and it still is, but I decided to get trained.
I attended multiple tech-related schools ranging from the creative to the technical. I decided to focus more on web development as it does combine art with tech in the most accessible way.

Making the web
The work is the rewardI have been making apps, games and other web-related things for decades. My focus is more on the technical, but I am a full-stack developer. I love to create and I will continue to do it in a personal capacity as well as professional capacity forever, or until a solar flare destroys my computer.
I have my own style and I believe originality is the foundation of good design. I try to find creative solutions to problems even if there are established methods when applicable. That said, I do also enjoy working in a team and bouncing ideas off other people, and I don't have issues using other peoples code. After all I am one person and the level of polish I strive for is quite a workload.
If you would like to see some of my recent personal projects, some samples can be found in the work section.
