Other Work :

Outside of college, I developed a mortgage payment calculator for a financial Company’s website which I developed entirely in Javascript. It was launched almost 1 year ago and haven’t had a single complaint to date;. The Company was very pleased with my work and often ask me to modify the calculator to suit fluctuations in prices, and to create new modules. The work can be found here. It is located on the left hand side in the orange box under the title “PREMIUM QUICK QUOTE CALCULATOR”.

I also enjoy designing my own websites however my domain names have expired recently so I don’t have any to currently display right now.
