Background

Based in Southern California, I specialize in UI Design, UX Research, Web Development, SEO & Marketing, and Systems Administration. My recent experience includes 2 years with a financial services company in Sherman Oaks, California, and 8 years at Microsoft in Seattle, Washington as a UI Designer and UX Researcher.

Experience

I have contributed to many globally-known titles and brands, helping to design websites, applications, software and games for Mobile, PC and Xbox. I also have significant experience as a UNIX and Linux Systems Administrator. I can provision PCs and Web servers, design websites and interfaces, and code database-driven Internet applications by hand, from the ground up.
