Hi, I've been working professionally as a web developer since I was 15 years old and the web was 1 years old. Back then it was ASP and IE4. Now I use a variety of tools from Ruby and Rails to newer frameworks like Foundation, CanJS, MeteorJS and Node. I am fascinated with CSS Animation, especially in the Greensock library. I hope to be involved in interesting creative projects for years to come.
