HTML/CSS Assistance

[Carl 'Dr. Yes' Yestrau]

Hello FreeBSD Web Team,

Congratulations on the site redesign, job well done!

I have been in the business of front-end engineering for over 5 years. 
My areas of expertise are XHTML, CSS and JavaScript architecture. I am 
looking to contribute back to the FreeBSD community. I like FreeBSD and 
it has helped me learn Unix.

I feel my best fit in assisting the FreeBSD Web team would be solving 
extremely complex web presentation layer issues or architectural changes.

Please find a copy of my resume below. As well I have included an 
additional document outlining my work (cyestrau_portfolio.pdf).

Thanks and all the best,
Carl
