Career Objectives

My core interests are Web Design, Flash and Web Development.
I chose those 3 because everything is done through the internet these days, and you need a nice design for your website to attract customers/clients, and you also need the functionality that drives your website, which of course, comes from web development.

And sometimes you want to make things extra-spicy, so that's when you use the power of Adobe Flash to add extra interactivity and smooth animations to your website, making it even more attractive and giving it a very unique look and feel which is guaranteed to work on all browsers and all platforms with no flaws.

What I'm looking for is a stable position at a fun place where I can enjoy my time working and learning new things everyday as I earn a fair wage.
