In Digital Media

By combining atomic and responsive design, I create effective content-first websites to provide journey-based user experiences for small business and individual service-provider audiences.

In the Pursuit of Knowledge

I have visited archaeological sites in the Americas and Spain, and I have conducted fieldwork in New Mexico, Texas, and Belize. All this combined has inspired me to be an archaeologist, but my journey has only just begun as Co-Founder, Editor-in-Chief and Creative Director of Origins Scientific Research Society, where I continue my scientific research.

How Origins Came To Be

As a budding web developer, I launched the journal Origins – a free journal about science – with over 4 million readers worldwide. Not only is it among the first of its kind, but it is interactive, open access, and free to read online. Of course, you probably already knew that, since you made it to my profile!

What I Also Do, Somehow

When I'm not building web applications, designing content, or learning a new programming language you will find me reading books made from trees, experimenting with a new vegan recipe, hiking through an archaeological site in a tropical location, photographing sea creatures in a scuba adventure, playing video games (mostly Pokémon), or relaxing at home watching e-sports (probably League of Legends).
