João Ramos’s Summary
I’m João, a 22 year old Multimedia Communication MSc (Interactive Multimedia branch) student at DeCA, University of Aveiro (Portugal). I have a big crush on web technologies and services based on a front-end perspective. In other words, I develop standards-compliant applications with an eye on user experience and usability. I’m a typography-based graphic enthusiast, building my own beautifully balanced designs and I do some blogging and print design to pay the bills. I'm also a social network addict and a hopeless community freak.
João Ramos’s Specialties:
Though I'm not an hardcore geek (I’m something more like a design-oriented cowboy coder), I do love XHTML/PHP, CSS and jQuery and I’m crazy about new trendy technologies, services and applications. This means I'm deeply into API and RIA development, WordPress hacking and social networks. I'm also an extrovert speaker and I love to design my own keynotes.
