Who is Evan?

I'm a 25 year old creative web developer hailing from Chicago, IL. I've got an eye for design, but a heart for web development. I've spent the last 5 years enjoying an adventurous career as both a freelancer and agency professional and currently work as a UI developer at Designkitchen.

I specialize in semantic, web standard and unobtrusive Front-end developement, but I'm also quite comfortable in a number of Back-end languages like PHP, Ruby on Rails, and C# .NET. I also regularly use a number of frameworks and platforms to streamline development, such as jQuery, CodeIgniter, ExpressionEngine & Wordpress.

When I'm not obsessing over web development, I'm usually playing soccer, drawing, traveling or playing video games.

But enough about me. What's your story? Visit my contact info in the footer, and drop me a line.

About This Site

This is where I showcase my portfolio, write for my blog and test some of my latest web inventions. It's a creative outlet for me to showcase my prior and most recent work covering web design, web application development, front-end engineering and even some artwork.

Behind the Scenes

I built this beauty on my Apple MacBook, designed it in Adobe Photoshop, and hand-coded it using Smultron. It's built on the ExpressionEngine 1.6.8 platform, is equipped with the jQuery framework for unobtrusive Javascript effects and is hosted on Dreamhost.

All the XHTML and CSS should validate (minus the CSS3 and browser-specific enhancements).
