Psi Star Designs

Welcome to the online home of web developer Joseph W. May. By day, I teach high school chemistry in North Las Vegas; by night, I'm still working on my day-job. However, on weekends, breaks, and summer I enjoy web development. I have experience in HTML/CSS, jQuery, PHP, WordPress theme and plugin development, responsive design, and Bootstrap. I primarily work with academic research groups, which is where my joy for web design and development began. I completed my Ph.D. in computational chemistry at the University of Washington, Seattle. During my time there, I learned to program and found satisfaction in the design element that comes with programming for the web. I also realized my real passion was in education, which is what led me to become a teacher.

Due to my nine-month-long day-job as a teacher, I have limited time between August and June for development projects. However, if you are interested in my services, please contact me at psistardesigns@gmail.com. For samples of my work, check out my portfolio below.
