Hi! My name is Alina and I have been making websites since the days of the .
I am an Interactive Programmer and the president of Sliced Bread Media. I have graduated from University of Texas in Austin with a degree in Computer Science in 1999 and have over 10 years of experience in the industry. I am an expert in builidng interactive, standard compliant sites and web based applications, writing clean SEO friendly HTML, and figuring out creative solutions.
In the recent years I have worked as a part of world renouned interactive agencies for clients such as Quaker Oats, McDonald's, Nine West and many others. I have also worked independently on sites for a variety of small businesses.
From defining business logic and database structure to making pretty spinny slidy things - I've done it,
When I'm not writing code I am out wearing out my running shoes, learning and practicing oriental medicine, reading books, and spending time with the people I love.
