About Me
My name is Jason Chandler, Front End Web Developer and sole-proprietor of DTI Graphics. I started this small production in 2008 with one goal; create clean, functional web sites for those in the small-business and niche markets. I truly appreciate the innovation that comes from todays dynamic small-business and wanted to offer my services to those markets. I've worked with many local business owners since 2005 as a freelance designer in between my daytime design career. My passion for all things creative began with my love of reverse engineering, a habit I began in childhood much to the dismay of my mother's electronics. Design, and specifically the online variety let me creatively pursue my passion and my desire to continually learn new things and strive to improve upon my skill set.
What's happening right now...
I am currently employed as a Web Development Lead, a senior position which is part art director, designer, and part middle-management and all-around go to resources for all things XHTML, CSS and jQuery. I've enjoyed the growth and opportunity its afforded me yet I'd like to get back to what I do best; Front End Development. I've had the opportunity to push design/code standards, such as adopting jQuery as our javascript framework as well as making the move to progressive enhancement with CSS3. I'm a bit of a geek when it comes to UI/UX and I strive to provide the best possible online experience (even for IE6 users.)
If you need a home for a design project, drop me a line and let's see what we create together...
