I'm a New York City based PHP and Web Professional who's objective is to say "I can" when others say "I can't". With over 6 solid years as a PHP developer in professional environments, I take pride in being able to take the ideas from non-technical users and convert them into practical online brands. The primary audience, users, and the market are what shape my vision of any web project that I touch. A touch of class, a sense of style, and spending the time to get it right within the necessary project constraints, are all part of my work environment.
