I've worked with start-ups, small businesses, and Fortune 1000 companies. I specialize in rapid development and prototyping in both front and back-end web development. I've designed and built systems including the video content management system for The Washington Post, the back-end to the data-driven, visual, interactive, geospatial news experience TimeSpace 2.0, Flash widgets, Facebook applications, and form-based web applications.
