A little background

After completing high-school at IGS, I entered the Information Environments program at the University of Queensland.  I graduated at the end of 2004, declining to continue the study I started with Multimedia Design. (Information Environments has since been renamed to Information Technology/Interaction Design, due to nobody knowing what an ‘information environment’ is!)  After finishing my first degree, I was getting mighty tired of the university lifestyle and thought I’d see if this so-called “real world” was all it was cracked up to be.

Early in 2005, I started work at Tailored Consulting, doing web design and development.

Major Interests

Professionally;

• PHP Coding - particularly moving towards content management systems, templating engines, and migraine-sparking SQL queries.
• Working towards WC3 standards compliance in my sites.
  (Sadly, few of them make it all the way. Compliance is often one of the first causalities of time constraints.)
• Kick-ass CSS techniques. (I know, I know, its not really coding. So sue me, it looks pretty!)
• Marketing & Business - This is a funny area for me. I don’t know all that much about traditional business operation, but its amazing what one can pick up just by working in a small office.
• SEM - Search Engine Marketing. (True voodoo, but I’m learning)

Offline Life

I used to have one; not so much anymore!
