Welcome! Well, you're here. You might be asking yourself . . . "Why's this site look so ugly?" There are two reasons for that. One, it reflects my design philosophy that form follows function—I’d much rather you left here confident in my abilities and personality than have you say “Oh, nifty.” and leave without any idea as to who I am or what I do. This page is quick to load, standards-compliant, and maintains some of the minimalist design elements I like. The second reason is that I haven’t really had time to fix it up. I'm in college! Besides, I’d much rather use my web skills on sites for friends and clients than spend hours creating a fancy digital identity for myself. Anyway, feel free to wander around aimlessly, and contact me if you have any questions. :) Taken by Ross Dawson December 2008 | About MeMy name's Jonathan. I'm an eighteen-year-old, first generation Filipino-American as well as an undergraduate student at the Rochester Institute of Technology where I major in both Imaging and Photographic Technology and Computer Science and minor in Japanese Language. In high school I went to Europe as a People to People student ambassador, won the championship Chairman's Award with MOE Robotics, and had an amazing opportunity to work with HostMySite.com, which was the world's best Adobe ColdFusion 8 web hosting firm at the time. With that said, I think I've been pretty successful in terms of staying on the right side of the tracks. I couldn't have done so, however, without being blessed with the love, guidance, and support of my family, friends, and teachers, and I can't thank any of them enough. |
