Haircut accomplished

LYD Labs is me, Ernie Hsiung. (Hey there!) I'm a jack of all trades, really: a front-end engineer, writer, speaker, designer, community manager and developer advocate, with an interest in the community space. I'm currently available for freelance or contract work and am always on the lookout for projects, small or large.

Tell me more about this Front-End development you do.

Okay. I work in front-end development using semantic, web standards compliant HTML and CSS as well as unobtrusive, object-oriented Javascript, web application development and customization for CMSes such as WordPress and Buddypress, as well as custom development and application work related to Ning Social Networks.

Community Management? I've got a bulletin; these things can police themselves.

Sure they can! You've heard of something called 4chan, right? (That's a fancy way of saying, "Not really.") Here are some projects where, along with front-end development, I had also played a hand with interacting with the community.

What's this about you and developing Ning Networks?

As a Ning Certified Partner, I have a strong track record of providing development services to Network Creators and Ning's strategic partners. Here are some of the Ning Networks I developed with the assistance of a Social Network Designer.

IMPORTANT NOTE: As of February 2012, I only take on new Ning Network development work by referral only.
