Elias Ranz-Schleifer

I am web developer by day, artist and gamer by hobby. I play games competitively on various websites. My web developer inside of me can't but help to pick out the flaws in all of these sites. On my free time I like to work on various web projects that I have going and love to learn new strategies of how to use jQuery to get a desired effect. My latest feet with jQuery was getting a hover effect working on a tournament bracket when you hover over a specific team. It selects all of the instances of that team and changes the background and text color. I take my work seriously and make a strong effort to figure out ways to make the most out of what is provided to me.

Outside of web development I try and push my competitive gaming to the next level where I play with my teammates and friends. We have the desire to go to professional gaming events as a team and compete against the top level players in the game. I also use photoshop to make my own desktop wallpapers that I make timelapse videos of on my YouTube channel.

I try to find interesting articles around the web that I post on my facebook page and try to interact with everyone that reaches out to me through social networking. I have spent a lot of time with studying web development and trying to figure out new ways to improve my skills. One of the current projects that I have going in web development is learning more about search engine optimization (SEO).
