I create websites and web-apps.
I design, and manage development of persuasive websites and functional web-applications.
I strive to create web products that are elegant, effective, and easy to use. I provide experience in product strategy, end-user research, project management, rapid-prototyping, testing and analytics analysis. I also code : HTML/CSS, JavaScript, PHP/MySQL are some of my hard skills.
I have been doing this for 10 years, and enjoy making sites that work. Need Help? Contact me. I like getting email.
I'm the founder of SFDebate, a political discussion forum at the Commonwealth Club of California. We meet regularly every other Tuesday to discuss topical issues.
