Joomla Go!'s new face lift

My Name is Michael White, I grew up in Sydney Australia and arrived in the US in July 07.

Prior to coming to the United States I worked as a 3D Artist for a company called Team Bondi on the game LA Niore. I was always interested in Design and Graphics as I studied Fine Art's after finishing School.

I was not until I arrived in the US and had a little spare time on my hands that I really dug deep into web development. I started out learning basic HTML and CSS and a short time after I found Joomla. Building Sites with Joomla was so much faster that the old HTML coding method I was using before! It ignited a greater level of enthusiasm and inspiration for my new found Career path in Web Design/Development.

After building a few sites for my own projects I began to take on bigger projects like E commerce and so forth, this is what really pushed my problem solving skills and understanding of not only the joomla framework but also web server architecture and the Internet in general.

Working in 3D Animation I had built up quite a lot of experience in Photoshop as we made all our textures, bump maps and normal maps in PS. Having a strong grounding in photoshop allowed me to efficiently learn Fireworks and later Illustrator.

I am currently developing my PHP and MySQL skills so I can effectively build Joomla Components and plugins for my new clients at Joomal Go!
