Summary

I have a passion for programming and creating websites. I am skilled at using HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery, ASP.NET MVC, PHP, C++, C#, Objective-C, Java, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, and Adobe Photoshop.

I am a huge Apple fan. I use a 15-inch MacBook Pro (Early 2011 model with a 2.2 GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7 processor, 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 memory, 750 GB Seagate Momentus XT hybrid hard drive, AMD Radeon HD 6750M graphics with 1 GB GDDR5 video memory, and OS X Mountain Lion), an iPhone 5 (32 GB Black & Slate on Verizon 4G LTE in a Black OtterBox Commuter case), and a 4th-generation iPad (32 GB Black Wi-Fi + Cellular on Verizon 4G LTE).

Even though I really like Apple products, I have a wealth of experience with Microsoft products. I use Windows and Office on a daily basis. I also have experience with Visual Studio, SQL Server, IIS, and Active Directory.

I am also a Japanese pop culture enthusiast and especially enjoy anime, manga, Japanese pop and rock music, and Japanese role-playing video games. My favorite food is Japanese cuisine, especially nigirizushi, tonkatsu, and kare raisu. I am trying to learn the Japanese language as I have spare time available.
