About me...
My name's Geoff Lin and I am a multimedia professional with years of experience in Visual Design, Motion Graphics, Videography, Web, and Marketing Communications. I am located in the San Francisco Bay Area.
I have worked high tech, biotechology, and government/military sector using these skills. I have managed these efforts by working with various stakeholders in finding solutions for their objectives while managing different vendors to help produce my products.
I am well-versed in the iterative process of User Interface Design—user research, information architecture diagrams, wireframes, mock-ups, user scenarios, prototyping, and finally evaluation.
Here are the applications I am familiar with: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (and jQuery), PHP, Adobe Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, After Effects, InDesign, Balsamiq, Flash(w/ Actionscript 3.0), Digital Photography/Videography, Apple Final Cut Pro, Quark Xpress, MS Office Applications (including Access and Visio)
I am also a former military officer and Veteran. On my spare time I enjoy the great outdoors, photography (they tend to go hand in hand), cooking and martial arts.

About the site...
This is a simple web portfolio that was kickstarted in Initializr for the HTML5 boilerplate. The site is primarily coded in HTML5, CSS, jQuery and PHP. The web form is essentially AJAX driven with some PHP. The entire site is responsive coded with some fluid elements put into it. A great deal of coffee went into making this too.
During some of my research, I found a great deal of different sites that were really inspirational. I found a lot of great examples which inspired some experimentation of my own.
Putting this site together wasn't entirely easy. Quite often I would run into pitfalls where some element wasn't rendering the way I wanted it to in a particular browser or some behavior not behaving right—which is normal for this type of work. But as they say, it's about the journey and not just the destination. Along that journey, I learned a good amount of tricks in CSS and Javascript frameworks. Much credit goes out to individual web developers who contributed content on Stack Overflow and other developer discussion boards. It's great to know there are like-minded web problem solvers out in the world.
