Mobile, mobile, mobile. That's basically all I think about these days. Though I have experiences in both backend and web development, my passion revolves around building mobile applications, especially those that will fundamentally change an existing process through the use of a mobile device.
I also love to learn and be challenged. My typical process would be to build with standard UI until the application is functional and then layer on the "sexy" in a way that would make other developers ask "how did you do that?", even if I don't know how to do it myself ... it's what drives me to build through the night.
Mobile is the future and I am excited to be part of it!
