About Jordan Miskowicz
I’m a freelance webdeveloper currently looking for full-time, part-time, or contact work in the Chicagoland area. I have over 3 years of professional experience within the webdev field, and over 9 years experience overall. My work ranges from basic XHTML & CSS coding to integrating designs within CMSes (like Wordpress) and frameworks (like CakePHP.)
The first website I ever made was full of frames, animated GIFs, and all sorts of other insane code. It was such a strange world to me, that I craved more. I bought “HTML for Dummies” books and practiced from the examples, and eventually I would find other resources online to further my knowledge on it. I ran several fansites for large bands, and as such was able to get my first taste into the corporate website work designing and coding a website for a local record company. From there I had many other websites, hundreds of versions, and eventually I graduated with high school with a desire to do more.
Towards the end of 2005 I started my own webhosting company, Holdfire. Almost four years later and my hosting company is still thriving, and growing as each day passes. Along with having my own hosting company, I also took the dive into the deep end by deciding to leave full-time retail to pursue a freelancing career. I love freelancing, however, after testing the waters for a couple years, I am ready for a full-time webdevelopment career.
