Hello!
Who am I and what do I do?
My name is Tim Skoraszewski, a web developer and marketing technologist in the Lehigh Valley and Greater Philadelphia, PA.
I’m a husband (with an amazing wife... even when we fight over the dishes), a pet parent (all sweet feral/rescue pups and kitties), a fervent fly angler and fly tyer, an aspiring gourmet cook and BBQ fanatic, a homebrewer and vinter, a skilled outdoorsman, movie lover, music lover, video gamer, photographer, craftsman, auto-enthusiast...
Well, I could go on with all of that stuff for quite a while, but this is what you really want to know. I have two A.S. degrees in traditional and digital design, I’ve been a designer and developer for over 20 years. I’ve worked in everything from the full Adobe suite to coding in HTML, CSS, JS, PHP, MySQL, some ASP, IOS/Droid apps and more. I’ve worked with SEO/SEM, analytics platforms, RFID recognition for conferences, built conference booths (from the actual fabrication and set up to building the touch screen displays and screen content and developing the UI/UX).
So, I’ve done a lot, I’ve seen a lot, and I bring a lot to the table, and I get it done. If it sounds like I should be working with you, give me a ring.
