Meticulous Application Development

Software development and implementation are often viewed as boring, tedious, and unremarkable endeavors. A print designer friend told me he’d go crazy looking at screens full of text all day — he thinks I must have hit my head too hard to do what I do. The reality is that I love creating software: I enjoy solving problems; I enjoy helping people be more efficient; I enjoy working on, and completing, quality projects.

Great web applications require more than hep names, flashy animations, or slick graphics. Good (graphic) interface design is definitely a valuable component of any software, on and off the web. However, if I focused only on fancy visuals without a solid application underneath I’d simply be putting lipstick on a pig.

When the only options are boring efficiency and visually-interesting fluff, I color myself drab.
