I’m Charles and I’m one of the founders of the MelonStand, the better way to buy and sell stuff. I also do freelance design and front-end development.
A bit about me:
I’m skilled in building HTML and CSS and sleeping, as well as writing snarky comments.
I’m also a self-taught percussionist, with experience playing mallet percussion and drumset (although, to be honest, my skills are pretty rusty). I enjoy hip-hop music (Little Brother, The Roots), neo-soul (Jill Scott, Musiq Soulchild), R&B (Avant, Jagged Edge), as well as gangster rap (Three 6 Mafia, Geto Boys) and jazz/bebop/big band (Gerald Wilson, Thelonious Monk, Art Blakey); my favorite book is Dune by Frank Herbert.
In my spare time, i read Y-Combinator News, TechCrunch, Engadget, Styleboost, XKCD, Autoblog, 6speedonline, and VipStyleCars Forums.
I alternate between a Mabook Air (late 2008) and a Mac Pro (early 2008) with 30″ Cinema Display; both run 64-bit copies of Win7 instead of OSX. I use a Kensington Expert Mouse (really, a trackball). My default browser is Firefox 3.6.whatever-it-is-now.
I’m located near Los Angeles, California.
I’m usually available for freelance gigs — give me a holler at mail@strapdev.com.
