Your Web Hero Profile & Stats

Although it may seem strange to grant one-self a title as bold as web hero, I think that it is more accurate than the terms web designer, web artist or even the popular, and in my opinion ambiguous, web master. I feel that with my range of talents it is an accurate depiction of what I am, I save everyday people from near fatale web disasters.

Recently I have noticed most of my skills are shifting towards UI and project management. Here is a list of what I do now:

CSS, (X)HTML guru
UI engineering
User Experience Architecture
Photoshop & Illustrator Mastery
Drupal 5.x & 6.x Theming
Wordpress Theming
SEO - internet marketing strategies
CMS training
Brand Management
Identity Creation
Project Management

I can program in wc3 valid xhtml and css2, do a little nifty flash programming, design effective websites that are light weight and search engine friendly and web standards compliant, manage and organize content for usability, full brand consulting and identity creation.

I also do comic book lettering, color correction, logo design and prepress for independent artists.

One of my current sideprojects is food blog called zachisstillhungry.com.
