Work

My Experience

Hi, my name is Danilo Stern-Sapad and I’m really into Internet technologies. I’ve been employed as a Web Developer and Internet Marketer since 2005; I’ve been dabbling in web design for over eight years; and I’ve been programming for six years. My latest web-based application is Author Wars (currently in alpha). For more information about the project and the tools I used to develop it check out the about page. If you’re interested in my Internet marketing services check out Search Engine Marketing Wizards.

What I Do

I handle the front-end. I handle the back-end. I handle the middleware interpreter. I do anything and everything related to the process of constructing a website, whether it’s a custom-built web-based application written in PHP, an information intensive website requiring a user-friendly CMS with a MySQL database back-end, or a basic site necessitating only semantic XHTML and valid CSS. I can do it, I’ve done it, and I’ll do it again. I work best with information intensive projects and really enjoy search engine optimization and marketing (SEO and SEM).

What I Read

I try to read as much as possible to keep up with the industry and fuel my creativity. I keep a catalog of all the books I’ve read on this website. For your convenience I’ve organized these books by categories directly pertaining to my work: marketing, web design, and programming. I also subscribe to a number of blogs covering the aforesaid topics and tweet about what I find interesting on @ariadoss.
