Who am I?

My name, as you might have noticed, is Christian Elf. I am born and raised in Sundsvall, the capital of northern Sweden. In 2004 I enrolled at the webdesign-programme at Mid Sweden University, where I am currently working on my final thesis. I am a webdesigner by day and, well, er, a webdesigner by night. You know the hours in this business...

During my education I've been engaged in freelance work, which has offered me an insight about webdesign and -development. I take great pride in developing code that validates and design that pleases the eye, while they both together manages to give the user a great experience. I have good working knowledge in several popular techniques and languages, and I am always striving to learn more.

The strongest of my personal traits is that my aim is to always deliver the best product and my willingness to evolve and improve my work.

And as if that aint enough; I am also a good sport and an average guitar hero. All in all a must have at your business.

What do I know?

During my education, where I majored in computer science and graphical design, I have studied a diverse field of topics. I have good knowledge of graphical design for the screen, usability and accessability. I know how to plan and implement a database, and I'm an experienced project-worker who can handle demands.

The techniques and languages I know are these (in no special order):
PHP, Silverlight, AJAX, Javascript, XHTML, CSS, Flash, XML, JQuery, OOP, C#, XSLT, SQL, Prototype, XPATH, MySQL, Actionscript 2

I have experience from working with the following programs (in no particular order):
Photoshop, Flash, Illustrator, Zend Studio, InDesign, Dreamweaver, PHPMyAdmin, Expression Blend, Visual Studio, EPiServer, Joomla

Needless to say: I also know my way around MS Office (and OpenOffice). Place me in front of any OS and I am pretty sure I can get something going for me.
