N: John JosefP: Sr. Web DeveloperL: Orlando, FLW: +1 407 902 2686H: +1 561 312 1702E: john [at] johnjosef.com I currently work at Create Communications. If you'd like to make me a grilled cheese I won't stop you.
I am very interested in new and emerging technology on the internet and my involvement in them. I have a knack for fine and modern art and my friends tell me I have a keen eye. Given the appropriate resources I am able to overcome almost any obstacle, project, or person. I am fun and easy-going; laid-back, but productive. I work at an extremely fast rate, and I'm good at what I do. A bit of a perfectionist, I try to take time to reflect on everything that I do on a daily basis. Taking time in the middle of the day (usually an hour or two) I think about the progress I am making and how to continue forward with the best effort. I like working with people who have a basic understanding and appreciation for the kind of work web developers and programmers have to do - or are willing to learn about it. I enjoy watching movies, good music, great foods, and delicious beer.
