Hi! I'm Daniel VanMilligan.

I have a passion for web development, information architecture, user experience, usability, etc. I love anything Open Source. And especially free. I default to Chrome. Enjoy Mac.

I currently work at Thomas Communications, Inc. where I devote my time to MainframeZone.com and continuing its presence as the place for all things mainframe. I handle all online responsibilities for MainframeZone.com. I work on everything from Apache, MySQL, and PHP, but my heart is with front-end development: XHTML, CSS, Javascript (Prototype, jQuery). I’m constantly working to improve my skills in User Experience, Information Architecture, and Usability.

My heart is

  1. for God and to use the creative abilities he has given me for his glory.
  2. for users to give them a great experience that persuades them, evicts desirable emotions, and creates trust.
  3. for the people I work alongside to carry a part of the team and work together to not only reach our goals, but take a step beyond.
  4. for myself to not let my skills stagnate and to always refine who I am and get better at what I do.

Daniel VanMilligan is a family man and loves God. He has a remarkable wife and two awesome little boys. Dan and his family love caring for their 2 dogs, 3 cats, and a hermit crab. Dan enjoys working on home-improvement projects. Dan drives a Honda.
