My name is Alex D. Ni. I obtained my undergraduate degree of Honours Computer Science from computer science program at Wilfrid Laurier University. Before Laurier, I have also attended other post secondary institutions such as University of Waterloo and Conestoga College.

My industry interests and expertise are content-based websites, web architectures based on languages such as PHP, MySQL, Java, AJAX and .NET and other current web technologies. Some of the frameworks i work with most frequently are LAMP, GWT, Hibernate and other J2EE components(Spring, Struts).

I have 3 years of HTML/CSS/PHP/MySQL based web design and development experience. I am currently working on learning high-level integration of GWT (frontend) and Hibernate (backend) using Spring/J2EE.
