Brian J. Patrick

Website Designer and Developer - Lansing, MI

welcome to my resume

My name is Brian Patrick and I am a website designer and developer based in Lansing, MI. I built this electronic version of my resume because I believe that it accentuates my capabilities in a modern and thoughtful manner.

I have employed HTML5 and CSS3 techniques with some jQuery here and there to create the layout and functionality of this page as a demonstration for my website, Fro Designs.
