My name is Rihards Steinbergs, I'm a 26 year old Latvian. I currently live & work in Vienna, Austria as a freelance web developer.

I've been involved with creating websites since I was 14, and have worked professionally for the last seven years. I've always had a passion for new technologies, and enjoy the challenge and satisfaction of producing high quality web designs, using both backend and frontend technologies.

I frequently work with designers to bring their creations to life, and undertake various self initiated projects, such as Facebook applications and online gaming projects, to explore the various technologies I use in my day to day work.

I contribute to and support both the SGN and Popmundo communities in what little spare time I find.

I have developed:

  • 9 showcased Wordpress websites
  • vBulletin forum styles
  • Websites and e-commerce solutions for small and large businesses
  • A Facebook application with 7,000+ users

I have collaborated with:

  • Designers in Austria and abroad
  • Fellow developers around the world
  • Small and large businesses all over Vienna and Austria whilst working with Asklepios

I'm rather handy at:

  • HTML, CSS, JS and jQuery
  • PHP and MySQL
  • WordPress
  • Ensuring browser compatibility
  • Creating SEO friendly sites
  • Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator

Even more things I'm good at:

  • Project Management
  • Written and spoken Latvian,
    German and English.
  • Terrible jokes
  • All games ever. Honest. Except the kind that require finger dexterity (damn you Guitar Hero)!
