Education: BA in Sociology and Mathematics minor, University of Texas, Austin

This industry is flooded with knowledge and innovation. I love constantly learning new things while still being able to have a nice balance between programming and creativity.

Manoj has always had an interest in software and technology. His responsibilities as the programmer at TradeMark Media include integrating third-party applications and systems with client sites, PHP development and taking out the trash every Friday afternoon. He’s completed training in PHP programming and has recently jumped on the ExpressionEngine bandwagon.

Manoj has worked for a handful of local places including Hire.com, Alterpoint, and the University of Texas. He’s created interface prototypes for online applications, run extensive usability tests, and provided QA support for software launches. While at UT, Manoj worked with the Science, Technology and Society department where he sparked his interest in Web usability and development.

Manoj lives in South Austin and enjoys listening to live music around town, going camping during inclement weather and sitting on the couch with his dog, Willie.
