Adam Petrie - Web Developer and all around nice guy

Hi, I'm Adam...

I love the Internet. I believe that its ability to spread ideas makes it one of the greatest inventions in the history of mankind and that's why I love what do. The idea that these words are available to people from all over the world with a few simple clicks never ceases to amaze me and as a result I am constantly striving to improve my ability to allow other people to have their own ideas be heard.

Whether I'm knee deep in server-side logic or gracefully placing that last pixel, I love creating online experiences that both my clients and I can be proud of. Not only do I love my work, over the past 4+ years I've gotten pretty good at it too. My breadth of skills both technical and otherwise has served me well so far and every day I try to keep them moving forward.

Aside from being a great developer I am also a great communicator, a tireless worker and a wealth of useless trivia knowledge. Simply put, you want me working on your project because I know what I'm doing and I know how to have fun doing it. I won't leave you in the dark over progress or nickel and dime over cost. Being the best in my field is my number one priority and it all starts with keeping my clients happy by producing stellar work on time and on budget.
