Hi!

I’m Lee Adkins. I live just outside my birthplace of Chattanooga, TN, in a small town named Jasper.

I’m currently a computer science student at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. My concentration is in Information Security, but I’ve patterned most of my coursework around algorithm design and software.

I’ve recently left my retail sales day job of seven years to focus on web and mobile application development full time. So far, I think it was the smartest decision of my life.  If you aren’t doing something you love, you need to do something else. Luckily, I love this new venture.

I like community. Not just online, but offline too. I’ve got a core group of friends that always seems to find each other even after months apart, so I’ve grateful for that. I’m really excited about the possibilities all these new social networking sites bring to the table; where we can turn online acquaintances into offline…well, something. SXSW style.

I like to focus on web technologies. I like Ruby, PHP, and Python. I forced myself into Actionscript because AIR is really rad.  HTML and CSS are becoming second nature, and standards-compliance and usability is always at the top of list of importance.  Recently, I’ve had a great interest in mobile application development. I’m currently working on applications for Android and iPhone.  Any personal development I do is placed under my Ravsonic brand, a one-man software development show I’ve been playing around with for the better part of 6 years now.

Contact me. I want to talk. You can find me at any of the social sites listed to the right, or email me at lee at ravsonic com.
