OBJECTIVE:
The ultimate goal was reached in 2012 when I landed a position in the the corporate world as a contractor, The Creative Group allowed me to take on new possibilities and grow as a web developer. I currently now know how to work within ASP.NET and help build user interfaces that partner with C#. The next ambition for 2013 is to focus my talents into a server-side programming language such as node.js and Ruby. I am training myself to learn client and server side technologies so that I am focused on projects and be useful for multiple purposes. So that I can help bring solutions where a development team may lack resources. I love transmedia, gamification, ACR [ Automatic Content Recognition ], E-Commerce, and etc. I have a long list of interests but the most important thing is that I am humble and willing to learn to be an asset to any development team.
