If you're reading this, it is increasingly likely that you are hoping to suss out the extent of my work as a freelance web designer, and not to read the poetry I wrote as a junior in college. The poetry is available upon request if you're morbidly curious (hint: Most of it is about dating); while you're here, though, let me talk some about web development.
Both lobes of my brain are in a constant, bitter fight. One lobe is that which got me to seriously enjoy my five years as a librarian, and which maintains my constant love affair with organization and structure; this is where my proclivity for coding for the web by hand comes from. The other lobe bade me follow a college degree in the liberal arts (cf., the previously-mentioned student poetry), and demands that I never sacrifice function in the name of form; this is, at least partially, why I am such a stickler for web standards and CSS.
While my job history will imply that I am, at my core, a systems administrator and IT tech, and while I these are roles I have been excited to fill, there exists something uniquely pleasing about the process of creation in a medium in which something can be both gorgeous and useful, and infinitely propogatable to those who find a need served. I have not been doing this for a decade aimlessly.
