Fluxure Advanced Motion Media, Inc. / Full-time

At Fluxure Advanced Motion Media, Inc. I was finally able to start using the web developing skills that I had taught myself. Until then most of the sites I had created were for small projects for my friends, acquaintances, and myself. Finally, I was able to create and work on websites for clients and larger projects. While working at Fluxure, I worked on a variety of different websites, which led to even more detailed learning about PHP and SQL.

Education

2007 - 2011Queens College

BA: Economics

At Queens College, I decided to major in economics and minor in BALA (Business and Liberal Arts.) Already having a solid background in coding from previous projects and self-taught skills, I thought getting a better sense of the business world would benefit me. My education has provided me with the tools not only to create websites for businesses, but to create more efficient ways for businesses to run using technology.

2002 - 2006HAFTR High School

It was in HAFTR high school where I finally decided to get serious about web development. I installed Dreamweaver on my computer and started to teach myself to code. In HAFTR I took Advanced Placement Computer Graphics which helped me master Adobe Creative Suite. From here on, my passion for web development was solidified.
