About

Who I am and what I do.
 


 Hi, my name is Patrick Phonsakkhwa.  I am a Graphic Design Ninja by night and Web Developer Samurai by day for hire, specialize in blog customization, interactive flash / HTML websites, web e-commerce, print media, corporate brand development, trade shows, online and offline marketing and advertising, user interface using human factors based design.  I develop most of the projects using either Zend, CodeIgniter, Expression Engine, CakePHP Framework.  I also construct, modify, generate, and integrate database like MySQL or Microsoft Access into websites for easy editing and generating data.   I have over 5 years experience with Adobe Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Flex, Illustrator/Firework, and After Effects.  In my free time I enjoy playing first person shooter game like Call of duty Modern Warfare 2 on XBOX Live, cooking, and oil painting you can see some of my work here. 

I am Thai and live and work in San Jose, CA.  I was born in the North-East Thailand and relocated to the USA at age 16.  Why California? Simple, it has the biggest Thai community in the US and similar weather as Thailand, California almost has identical weather to Thailand, well during the summer anyway.

I attended San Jose State University for a degree of computer engineering.  After San Jose State University I landed my first job as a web production manager at Wish.com ( Gift Logic Inc. ).  Like many companies during the dot com boom, it did not survive the bubble burst.  In the past 7 years I’ve worked for and with many advertising agencies, tech companies, and small businesses.

I am currently a creative guru at Aionic Agency.  Prior joining Aionic I was the Web Master and Sr. Web Developer at the San Jose Convention and Visitors Bureau.  I also received the Web Guild Award for an Interactive Web Design contest in 2002.  You can read about what other people said about me here.

My hobbies includes Thai cooking, oil painting (mostly contemporary and abstract), 3D graphic, sketching, and gardening.

I speak Thai, Laos and English fluently with some Japanese. Since English is my third language any suggestions or correction of my English here would be most appreciated!
