 Paul J Karlik
Sr Presentation Layer Developer

For over the past 11 years I have worked with large-scale dynamic web applications, corporate marketing web sites, and all forms of brand design. Currently I work for Avenue A | Razorfish in Chicago as a Sr Presentation Layer Developer pushing the boundaries of interactive communication. At Razorfish I have been able to work on clients such as AT&T, Nabisco, Kraft Foods, State Farm, Chili's Restaraunt, Discover Card, and Dominos to name a few.

I have a strong understanding of DOM scripting, CSS and web standards development. I enjoy what I do and hope it shows though in both my personal and professional work. Currently I am playing with .Net 2.0, Microsoft XNA and SilverLight as well as Flash & ActionScripting 3.
