About Webdev In early 2008 I found an interest in designing and developing websites. I quickly picked up HTML and CSS and immediately started playing with website design. By the end of the year I had started to work with PHP, Javascript, AJAX, MySQL, and a few other website development languages and technologies.

Up until 2009 I constructed websites for my personal use. Since then I have created websites for a few local companies, a social organization, and the University of Kansas.

I focus on designing clean and fairly minimalistic layouts, intuitive UIs and navigation, and striving for elegant code.

I was born and raised in Kansas and spent most of my childhood living in farming communities. However, instead of farming, I found an interest in science and technology. I can remember at the age of 11 making an AM radio from an electronic project kit given to me by my grandfather. At age 12, my father bought a TI-99 and thus my passion for programming soon followed.

I continued programming as a hobby throughout high school while maintaining an active interest in science, technology, and math. After high school, I attended the University of Kansas and studied Mechanical Engineering. I graduated in 2007 and have pursued many other interests, in addition to engineering such as programming, website development, podcasting, DIY projects, and photography.
