about Ana Carter
Thank you for visiting my site!! As a web developer, I specialize in the user interface experience providing web compliant XHTML, CSS, and Javascript. My experience ranges from the design phase to front-end and to a lesser extent back-end development. I'm most comfortable working in the Rails framework collaborating with developers and software engineers on our Ruby applications. I have formal training in design and am well versed in graphic design tools such as photoshop and illustrator.
Outside of the professional realm, I'm an introverted yet strongly opinionated nerd. I have an elegant, graceful black cat and a loud, silly french bulldog, both incredibly adorable. I love interior design, hand crafted wood furniture, classical music, and old French films. Please feel free to glance at my portfolio and do not hesitate to contact me with any feedback or questions. ♦ Thank you ♦
