I write for myself, others, and my job. Below you’ll find some of my educational experience, as well as some technical details about me. This page should be not be confused with my résumé.
Degrees and Awards
- I have a Master of Science in Business Administration degree from Texas A&M.
- I have a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering Technology from Devry Phoenix.
- I received Time’s Person of the Year (2006).
Website Knowledge
I have been working on websites since I was 14 years old (for over ten years). I have recently fully embraced web standards. I do website design primarily as a hobby.
Writing Experience
Other than writing for this blog, I have no formal training in writing and literature. I had several English courses in college, but that was the extent of my training. My writing ability is mostly self taught since most English courses emphasize what “not to do” rather than how to write effectively. I would love to write articles, stories, and editorials for others if given the opportunity.
I have written articles for several blogs including:
- Devlounge
This is a blog resource for designers and developers. I am no longer an active contributor. I wrote reviews, script tutorials, opinionated pieces, and latest news articles.
- Weblog Tools Collection
I have contributed several articles that were published on the WLTC website.
- The Reader Appreciation Project
I helped found the RA Project. I am no longer an active contributor.
If you would like me to write for you or would like me to write a sample article, please contact me personally.
Web Scripts
I have written several scripts for WordPress community.
- Feed Styler
Feed Styler is a WordPress plugin that allows bloggers to make feeds a little easier to read with styles. The plugin has been featured on Circle Six Design, Andy Beard‘s website, and ProBlogger.
- WP AJAX Edit Comments
This plugin allows admins and users alike to edit comments.
Programming Experience
My primary strength is developing websites and scripts based on strict XHTML. I’m fluent in PHP, JavaScript (including jQuery), MySQL, and CSS.
