Shankar Poncelet
Web Developer in San Antonio, Texas
I grew up in Luxembourg which is a small country in the heart of Europe. After high school graduation I joined the Luxembourg law enforcement forces. For 9 exciting years of service I was granted to peek into the highs and lows of humanity. My time as an officer has turned me into a proficient communicator. I learned that the best way of dealing with people is to listen to them, and to work on a basis of mutual trust and respect.
In 2011 it was time for me to immigrate to the United States, and by doing so I realized a childhood dream of mine. I went to beautiful Miami University of Ohio where I majored in Interactive Media Studies.After graduation I worked as a consultant for about a year until I came to the realization that I had a lot more to offer. I could become an independent web developer and help other people reach their dreams as well. I developed a passionate interest in entrepreneurship, freedom and a sustainable lifestyle. I believe that the future belongs to individuals and small organizations that want to positively impact our communities. As an independent web developer I can support entrepreneurship, creativity and sustainability because I get to choose how I work and who I work with.
Over the years I have also developed a fascination for our Earth and its inhabitants. I love animals, people and nature. Therefore I decided that each of my clients gets to pick a non-profit of their choice for which I will offer a free consultation session to help them with a given problem.
