About Me
Location
I'm originally from Youngstown, NY, but currently I am in New York, NY working as a senior front-end developer at Buddy Media. Buddy Media is an established start-up that works with brands and agencies to have a strong presence on Facebook.
Hobbies
Some of my hobbies are wandering around the city, hanging out with friends, dreaming about getting a dog, and consuming Pinkberry.
Music
As for music, I like most types, but lately I have been listening to Regina Spektor, Jay Brannan, Joshua Radin, and Imogen Heap...just to name a few.
Movies
I'm a bit of an obscure movie addict, some of my favorites are Misery, Slingblade, Crash and This Boy's Life.
Books
My favorite authors are David and Amy Sedaris, Augusten Burroughs and J.K. Rowling.
Web Development
The web would not be what it is today without its users, and I firmly believe they should be the starting point when designing a product. For that reason I am constantly seeking out new ways to present information that makes it most usable. My skills in technologies such as XHTML, CSS, JavaScript and AJAX empower me as a developer to rapidly prototype and test the effectiveness of conceptual interfaces.
