As a developer/designer, I believe it is not only possible, but desirable tointegrate the science of development with the creativity of design and toembrace creativity in development. It's not enough to be merely an engineer.I want to create an aesthetic that is at once appealing to the eye and onethat clearly communicates content to the viewer. As a passionate lifelonglearner, I am committed to a holistic approach to development and design thaterases the boundaries between the two.

Aspiring to a consulting career in integrated web applications, web development and design, I have a followed a highly individualized path that tests the limits of common wisdom regarding specialization in my chosen field. Proceeding from the viewpoint that information technology, in general, and particularly in the realm of web development/design suffer from hyper-specialization, I aim for excellence both in front-end and back-end development.To this end, I have recently earned my Master's Degree in the Integrated Digital Media program at NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering (January 2017). This program goes beyond the notion of interdisciplinary study and coincides with my view of my field as multi-disciplinary.My ultimate aim is to provide services in design and development that are highly customized for the needs of the individual client, minimizing the impact of coordination between members of large development teams.

Among services provided are computer troubleshooting, systems configuration and document design services including, but not limited to desktop publishing design.In more recent years, this focus continues to expand into web design and development with most recent studies encompassing mobile applications.

Continued training and study in Python and Django geared toward the re-development of the back-end for a pre-existing pre-existing web site.

The internship included work on a real-world project for complete back-end re-factoring of an existing web site programmed in PHP and the YII framework as a site built with Python and the Django web framework.
