Bio
Who am I?
Hello. I’m John Harris, a web developer from Reading, Pennsylvania. I help businesses establish an effective web presence by creating professional websites with engaging design, usability, and search engine optimization.
I began working in the web design industry in 2008, starting off with an internship at a local company. Over the past 3 years, I’ve worked with many companies and individuals to help them establish an effective web presence.
I currently attend Penn State University, pursuing a Bachelors degree in Information Science & Technology. In my free time I enjoy reading, designing, fishing, and playing guitar.
Experience
What have I done?
Much of what I’ve learned about website design and development has been self taught. My knowledge comes from hands-on experience working with clients to solve their problems and develop professional solutions.
While I usually work with clients one-on-one, as a freelancer, I’ve also worked with website design and development teams at various design agencies in Reading, Pennsylvania.
