My Goals

In the next 5-10 years from now, I want to create an application/interface that many users can benefit from. I've witnessed the growth of myspace, ebay, google, youtube, facebook, and others, and think to myself: These web applications are just good ideas. But I could have implemented it if i thought of it.

Right now I am currently interning with BoldFocus implementing web applications. The experience I am gaining from them is helping me to get the proper experience to implement any idea that may come to mind. At this stage in my life, I am trying to absorb as much knowledge and experience as I can.

Working with opencampaigns has also given me experience, especially in a development environment that is considered new and fresh today. Ruby on Rails was the first environment I used where the MVC model was more enforced than usual. I believe that this experience will help me to create something powerful.

Although my goal is to develop the next youtube, a more realistic goal is to become a project manager in web application projects. I love working with web apps as opposed to software, because i love the internet and the fact that web apps are typically less complex compared to mainstream software. The internet is a powerful tool and I want to benefit the users of it.
