I have joined the Merge team to help with web design/development and marketing related graphic design needs. Merge Virtual Reality is an exciting startup with a superior product, poised to bring VR technology to the masses.

I am available for web-based projects from concept-to-implementation, or anywhere in between. I can design your user experience, or help you hash out your website's bugs. Personal blogs to e-commerce shops, even full-blown web or mobile apps, I can help. My main area of focus is helping small businesses operate more efficiently by utilizing web technology to optimize processes. Whether that means simply crafting a workflow from off-the-shelf open-source products, or creating a completely custom solution to serve your business. My main tools are HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, WordPress, Phonegap, and Photoshop.

My role was to construct and implement the technical design for the organization's web properties. This includes the selection of Web applications' hardware and software platforms, developing site navigation, designing an application framework, and contributing directly to development and interaction design. I was also responsible for ascertaining system volume, analyzing traffic patterns, and ensuring scalability to meet the demand.

At Explore God, I led the UI design and development effort for Explore God Network’s current and future products such as ExploreGod.com. I designed and implemented the second fully responsive theme redesign released in April.

At Idea, I directed the creative aspects of all projects requiring new design and development, served as a Wordpress developer and designed and developed web software products.

'realm9' was the moniker I used for my freelance work spanning more than a decade, starting during my high school years. Over the years, I worked with dozens of clients ranging from large national companies, to small local businesses and individuals. For the last period of 5 years I worked heavily with many Texas political campaigns ranging from statewide to city offices. My work involved creating websites, apps, email campaigns, branding, and print campaigns, as well as managing outsourced teams for some projects.

I started at OpenPeak as a marketing designer. Soon, I raised my hand to work with the software engineers to improve the user experience for our handheld/embedded software products. I later went on to design physical hardware prototypes. My work at OpenPeak led to several related design and invention patents.

I was brought into RCI to redesign and revamp a national network of job search and HR/Recruitment publishing websites. In my time there, I progressed to the role of Webmaster.
