I'm an almost 4th year IT student here at RIT. I'm currently concentrating on web development and a custom concentration that is still to be determined. I have been doing web development as a hobby and freelancing since I was 15, I'm now 23, so around 8 years. I only recently started developing dynamically with PHP, about 2 years ago. I'm still not the greatest with it because I mainly taught myself, so there is still a lot to be learned in this class. I always mainly focused on web design in Photoshop and had other people to code my work. I realized that I could be making a lot more money if I could do it all on my own.

I spend most of my time doing homework, freelancing, watching sports, playing video games, going to the movies, and hanging out with friends. I typically try to see one new movie a week, I'm sort of addicted. I'm also an owner and the developer of an MMORPG media website, Rerollz, which keeps me busy as well.

Over the summer and during the fall I completed my first co-op, though it was a double block. I worked at Larson Design Group, an Engineering firm in Williamsport, PA. I worked in their IT department on various things, mainly custom application development and web development. I learned a lot about what it takes to work a professional atmosphere and I plan to return in the summer and potentially after graduation.
