About me

More than 12 years ago I set out to work in the entertainment and media industry. I began doing a lot of graphic, 3d modeling and animation work, educating myself along the way and also attending art school.

During college I shifted more towards the technical side, doing a lot of scripting and programming as well. I discovered that my strength is not only developing concepts, but actually bringing ideas to life.

Today I am a developer with a profound understanding of typography and design techniques and media psychology as well as usability patterns.

My work

Developer, mainly for JavaScript and Web related technologies such as CSS, HTML, SVG. Also proficient in iOS development.

Why I choose the Opera browser

Opera is fast, and standards compliant.
Especially on the Mac it is now one of the fastest browsers available and also quick to start. It's clean interface is easy on the eyes.
Opera's Javascript Parser is very strict which automatically results in clean and valid code.
